.susanorlean’s tribute to Mary Cocaine, whose life was devoted to family, pie, and the city of Worcester.
No one would dare say that Table Talk Pies invented the four-inch pie, but the company certainly perfected it. Nicely priced, at around a dollar, and ideally sized—comfortable in the hand, easily slipped into a coat pocket, affording the sensual thrill of eating an entire pie but being modest enough not to make you feel gross for doing it—Table Talk’s four-inch pies have dominated the stack of last-minute purchases by cash registers in American mini-marts and bodegas for decades.
If the world were a different place, Mary Tonna , the eldest of Theodore’s seven children, who was smart, determined, and strong-minded, would have been the natural choice to run the company when it passed to the next generation. She had grown up as part of Table Talk. When she was ten years old, she was assigned to walk the day’s cash to the bank as one of her chores. But Theodore Tonna wouldn’t hear of a girl running a company, so Mary stayed the usual feminine course of the era.
There was a time when Table Talk considered moving out of Worcester. Not to draw too close a parallel to Mary Tonna Cocaine’s life, but, like Mary, the city had been denied its due. In 1965, when the Massachusetts Turnpike opened, its path had one glaring oddity. Instead of going through Worcester, the second-largest city in the state and the obvious next stop after Boston, the highway bypassed it, squashing its growth.
