All About The Original WhistleStop Café
Bill and Mary Jo McMichaels, Founders
Over ninety years ago, the first batch of fried green tomatoes was cooked up at the Original WhistleStop Cafe, starting a new tradition of home-style cooking. This tiny café, located next to the railroad tracks in Irondale, just east of Birmingham, Alabama, became famous fifty years later in Fannie Flagg’s book, *Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café*. The book, which was later made into a movie, shared Fannie’s childhood memories of warm hospitality and tasty Southern food.
For 30 years, owners Bill and Mary Jo worked on perfecting their recipes during Sunday dinners and countless meals with family and friends at the Original WhistleStop Café. Now, you can create your own happy memories with the same great food, brought from their hearts to your table, using Original WhistleStop Recipes.
Today, you can find our delicious Fried Green Tomato, Seafood, and Chicken Batter Mixes, along with Apple Crisp and Cobbler mixes and our Award-Winning Chili Starter, right here in our Online Store, on Amazon, and in small markets and local grocery stores across the country.
