Where To Find The Best Store-Bought Pumpkin Pie In Montana

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and many Montanans are finalizing plans. What's on the menu? Who is bringing what? Will there be enough ice?

I'm a happily married man, and I get a real kick out of cooking a big dinner and having people over, but back in my single days, I was the dude who would show up with a bag of rolls and a pumpkin pie from some random grocery store.

Now, we know that pumpkin pie isn't a huge hit in Montana, but it seems like one of the things you have to have because it's Thanksgiving. While I can't speak for everyone, I feel like what really makes a good piece of pumpkin pie is whipped cream.
