 NOTES : Owner Lee Howdyshell calls the food at Bush's Restaurant the
 "finest home cooking in the Valley."  That statement espexcially applies
 to the pies, which are baked fresh daily.  Baker Rose McDaniel turns out
 20 to 25 pies a day, six days a week.  Bush's cream pies, including
 coconut, creamy peanut butter and banana cream are the most
 well-recieved; one slice fills up the plate and stands eight inches
 tall.  Several fruit varieties are also available, and special
 sugar-free apple, cherry and blueberry flavors are ready to tempt the
 tastebuds.  "Price, quality and quantity are our goals," explains
 Howdyshell, who charges $1.40 per slice.  Top off the house's specialty,
 broasted chicken, with a delicious slice of fresh rhubarb or strawberry
 pie and htis fine Hocking Valley meal will be complete.  Bush's
