Patti is only trying to save face. The public and #BlackTwitter went in on her for trying to say on TMZ that she had her pies selling out before the viral video. Ever since she has steady been trying to make her name look better. The ante keeps getting raised to higher and better things for Pie Guy James, as she hopes to continue selling out pies and staying in the news thru the New Year and Holiday Season to do what... continue to sell pies and make herself more money. The things she is doing for James is just small potatoes (pun to the Sweet potatoes pie LOL) to her. She is clearly seeing a hefty return on the sales and upping her cooking profile in general. James is like her puppet along for the ride. #ShrugLife. I'd rather her to have cut me a check for my video that went viral rather than these seemingly little things which will eventually be forgotten.
