My grandfather was from Chicago??? He had no trace of a southern accent, but I can't remember how he said 'pecan'. I don't know why I say it like that, honestly. I don't know anyone who puts more emphasis on the 'pee', so it must be a tennessee thing. I know the first time I heard it pronounced the way summer did was when I first watched When Harry Met Sally.

I love pecan pie! I like chess pie even better! Oh fucksies! I'm on a low carb diet and all this talk of pies is pushing me towards moving up my cheat day.
Trivia: Chess pie was invented by southern slaves. It got it's name because when the slave master asked what they called it, they responded "Oh, it's just pie." but with their thick accents, it sounded like "It's chess pie". Now you have some useless information.
You're welcome.
