Here is the esteemed arbyreed’s description of how the Thunderbird’s pies came to be ho-made.
The story of how the pies became Ho-Made relates to WWII home-front scarcities. Apparently large pieces of lumber were hard to come by when the first sign was made and the sign painter left out the letters M & E because there wasn’t room for them. It wasn’t until much later that Ho-Made took on a new meaning. The restaurant decided to go with the flow and start promoting the new meaning.
They’re picking up a little extra money during the daylight hours
