I Ate Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

Today I went on a road trip to Juliette, Georgia, the small town immortalized in film as fictitious Whistle Stop, Alabama in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes .

You can see more about by visit on my other blog, A Virtuous Woman, but I just had to show ya'll the some of best part of my visit---the food!


We started with--what else?--Fried Green Tomatoes
The "sauce" they serve with these tastes like Thousand Island Dressing.



I had a dinner plate of Southern Fried Chicken--this definitely tastes like homemade fried chicken. You get your choice of sides--I chose mashed potatoes and fried okra--and either cornbread or a roll. I brought half of it home so I could save room for dessert...



..they call this pecan cobbler, I just call it delicious.





It's a deep dish pecan pie made in a tart shell, served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, dusted with cinnamon. I ate the whole thing, full sugar and all!


But on the way home I stopped in the middle of tree farms and orchards and bought some tree-ripened peaches from a farm stand. I ate two of them already tonight, I can't wait to make something good with them!

Until next time, good (un)cooking, and good eating!
