About Us: Original WhistleStop Recipes
Over ninety years ago, the first batch of fried green tomatoes sizzled in a skillet at the Original WhistleStop Cafe, giving birth to a new tradition of down-home cooking. Nestled next to railroad tracks in Irondale, just east of Birmingham, Alabama, this tiny café became immortalized 50 years later in Fannie Flagg’s book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. In her book, later made into a movie, Fannie shared childhood memories of warm hospitality and lip-smacking Southern food.
For three decades, owners Bill and Mary Jo perfected their recipes over Sunday dinners and countless meals shared with family and friends at the Original WhistleStop Café. Now, you can create your own good-time memories with the same great food—passed from their hearts to your table—found in our Original WhistleStop Recipes.
