The pies were slingin' the drinks were flowin' at Damgoode Pies on Cantrell in Little Rock. They were serving up a slew of pretty much whatever you want Superbowl Sunday.
They were one of the many businesses hoping to hold out for the big game.
"We've put on an extra driver tonight and extra staff in the kitchen so we're ready for whatever they bring us," said Manager, Jim McDonald.
Business inside though was slower than what you might expect. It's their delivery business they're really counted on paying off.
While they were getting their fair share of the house calls being able to get away from home meant that much more to one person within the doors of Damgoode.
For years Meredith Ross stayed at home with her dad to watch the game but her father passed away only two months ago.
"I used to watch it with my dad," she explained. "Nobody else wanted to watch it but I wanted to."
With a vested interest however in this particular match-up being from Baltimore, Ross wanted to continue her yearly tradition.
"I wanted to enjoy it and that's why I came."
She was rooting for her favorite team with a Damgoode Pie and, well, darn good spirits considering.
