| - Three words. Fried green tomatoes. They're life changing. No joke. I'm a tomato lover-I even grow them in my own backyard in the summer and eat them at almost every meal until they're gone but for whatever reason, I've never had a fried green tomato. Until last night. And I'll never be the same.
I went through the drive thru at this Hush Puppy location and ordered them easily enough. It's your typical, run of the mill drive thru but an added plus is the menu board before you get to the actual speaker so you can check out the offerings if you're behind someone else.
I was pleasantly surprised that the fried green tomatoes were only $2.99. At that price, I was expecting maybe 3 tomatoes - just a small order. I was wrong. That cheap price is a steal for sure! The order comes with 6 good sized tomatoes. Too much for me to finish so the lucky hubby got some, too!
Now for the nitty gritty. Oh my heavens these little fried nuggets are pure heaven. They're perfectly salted, perfectly fried, not too greasy, super juicy and warm on the inside and I'm quite certain I've never tasted anything so good. They would hold up by themselves but just to add another layer of deliciousness, they're served with this remoulade sauce that I'd like to buy in a gallon container if I could. It paired amazingly with the tomatoes and as impossible as it seems, made them taste even better.
The girl working the drive thru was very friendly and helpful. It's a longer wait than a normal fast food drive thru but that's understandable when you taste how incredibly delicious this stuff is. Don't forget to tip the drive thru workers, people! This ain't McDonald's - it's a restaurant. And even though they're not in the dining room, they deserve tips for good service, too!
I'll be back. Many, many times. Next time I'll come inside and try an actual dinner cause if the rest of their food is half as good as the fried green tomatoes, good Lawd help me and my waistline!
