Yooper Jobs: Lawry's Pasty Shop

Local 3's, Korinne Griffith, spends a day in the life of a yooper at Lawry's Pasty Shop in Marquette, Michigan. Watch as she learns to make a pasty -- a Yooper delicacy.

From Cornwall, UK, I grew up on Cornish pasties, veggie ones since I went vegetarian in 1981. Every Cornish town has multiple pasty (Oggy) bakeries and shops.

Wow, did this bring back the memories. My dad's family were miners up in Ishpeming, MI. Grew up eating the pasty. This is a piece of home for me. During the war we had a boarding house in Detroit for the factory workers, and Mom made the pasty for them as well.

For all the times I dove thru the UP, I wish I had known the restaurant was there, some make pasties, and then there is THE Pasty. Ive been making pasties for as long as I can remember, I shared them with my wife 8 years ago when we met...she had never heard of one!! Now we make them almost every holiday ;)

I was born in marquette, grew up eating pasties. To this day I order them from Lowerys, always delicious.

I'm a born and raised Cornishman and I'm not a purist !!
It's so nice to see the next generation of "pasties" Miners from Cornwall brought the Pasty with them. These aren't traditional "Cornish" pasties .... but are traditional Michigan pasties !!
The "Jamaican beef patty" is also another generation of a pasty brought to Jamaica by Cornish miners then the locals redesigned to suit their tastes,
There is really no right or wrong as long as you don't call it a "Cornish Pasty"

Wife & I always get 2 on our way through, at the West Ishpeming shop. My wife orders 2 Cudighi also from cell pH when we are about 15 min west of town. Our once a year treat.

I grew up on the best pasties in Minnesota...my mother had the perfect recipe which was later used by others...like the crooked carlsons. ⚡👁️

I make my own. Ketchup is it. I just stuck a pie plate version with ground bison in the oven. In Minden Nevada.

I grew up in Rock. Live near Detroit many years. Have lots of family up there. I watched the channel from the college NMU(call letters?), WLUC, and WJMN. This makes me hungry for pasty ! Btw NOT a troll, TRANSPLANTED Yooper.

[Sofia_Freja]

OMG get some gravy! What is wrong with you? LOL

[tbru]

While Gramma Bruneau (RIP) made the world's best Pasties, these are a very close second!

My Grandpa was the Sheriff in Marquette in the 50's to the 70's.

Better microphones might have been a good idea. But I'm sure they already know that. I can barely hear either woman

That girl cant eat no pasty. Mash it up and pour that ketchup all over it girl.

[markpiekaczpiekacz]

I would have pick BBQ to dip it in or Ranch.
