Savannah, along with Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones, Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly, all chose their favorite pie, while to get more votes in the studio, the Today chefs came out to side with their prefered pie.

There was an added debate though, as Savannah and Hoda both had different ways of pronouncing the word Pecan. "How do we say it? pee-khan," Hoda said, while Savannah turned to Craig and said: "I thought it was pee-can."

Pee-can or pee-khan, the tasty pie won the competition by a close vote in the studio.
