How long can chess pie be left at room temperature?

I just read not to leave chess pie out more than 2 hours at room temperature. I've been making it each holiday, and arrive with it around noon depending if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas. Now that I think about it, once there, we may not eat until 2 or 3. Then we watch sports all day only to snack again in the evening, including my pie and other things. I don't remember ever getting sick, so is that true about the 2 hour limit?|||Chess pie is really best left at room temperature until it is completely devoured. I've never refrigerated one, in the summer or in the winter. It's cooked/baked so it's not like the eggs can spoil. Too, if your family is anything like mine, no chess pie has ever lasted more than a day|||We usually have it during the holiday season, when it's cooler. Honestly, if we serve it at lunch we'd leave it out to be finished off at supper! But if I still had leftovers, I think I'd refrigerate them.|||Siss, do you mean cheese pie? Really it isn't a good idea to leave them out indefinitely. Two hours is being very liberal.
