Gayle King said she placed an order for a custard pie, but it was delivered to her half-eaten.
On Tuesday, the CBS Mornings host shared the story on the air. She recalled ordering a slice of coconut custard pie with a creamy egg custard filling from a local restaurant.
King said the pie was delivered half-eaten and she was so hungry that she finished eating it. But before she ate it, she took a picture and sent it to the restaurant.
“I sent this picture to the company to complain about how it arrived,” she said. “I wondered if it had been eaten or maybe just jostled during delivery because it was such a mess.”
She captioned the message, “Was this slice of coconut custard creme pie delivered to @gayleking half-eaten or jostled?”
“The company said they were mortified – and I’m not saying the name of the company because I really like them” King explained.
King said the company told her, “Gayle, it looks like someone ate half the pie… I think it might be your doorman.'”
But King denied the claim that her doorman ate her food. Instead, she chose to believe that it had been “jostled during delivery.”
When asked what she did with the half-eaten pie, King confessed, “I ate it.”
“I did not think it had been eaten,” King said. “I honest to God thought it may have been jostled until I started asking people,” she added.
