Comments Off on TIBS Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
Chef’s Note
“Fried green tomatoes are a part of Southern food culture. The slight sour flavor combines well with a crunchy coating. They are often served in Southern restaurants as a side or a topping for sandwiches and burgers. Cooked right, they are hard to pass up.”
