We hit the road and sampled more than 70 varieties from Texas to Virginia. Here are the best we found. Trust us, they’re worth the calorie splurge.

Coconut Meringue, Whistle Stop Restaurant

Glendale, Kentucky

This family friendly café set next to the railroad tracks in Glendale (a small town off I-65 about an hour south of Louisville) makes its light-as-air coconut meringue pies from scratch. The homemade crust is filled with just the right amount of coconut. If you aren’t cuckoo for coconut, the Whistle Stop also makes great chocolate and banana meringue pies.
