Ohio is known as the Buckeye State, and indeed, the buckeye is a celebrated part of the state’s culture. Stemming (pun intended) from the Ohio Buckeye tree, which produces small, round, acorn-like nuts, the humble buckeye has inspired everything from the state’s finest college football team to its favorite dessert. With regard to dessert, the Buckeye tree’s “branches” continue, its influence is seen in everything from candy-topped milkshakes to the state’s eponymous buckeye pie. And for the best buckeye pie in Ohio, you need to venture up to a delightful little family-run restaurant in Ashland.
