SynopsisLong before Fannie Flagg sat down to write Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, there was the Irondale Cafe. Compiled by the owner, Mary Jo Smith McMichael, this cookbook contains the recipes from the authentic Alabama cafe on which Fannie Flagg based her book. Includes recipes for 230 great southern dishes--including Fried Green Tomatoes., The Irondale Cafe began in 1928 as a hotdog stand. It was purchased around 1932 by Miss Bess Fortenberry, the aunt of actress and author Fannie Flagg. Little did Mary Jo McMichael and her husband, Bill, know when they purchased the cafe from Miss Bess that it would be immortalised by Fannie Flagg as the Whistle Stop Cafe. This is a cookbook.
