Notes: These were SO GOOD! I know, Travis, you can make a killer fried green tomato, but this is Annie Style, and I must say, I rocked this one. I used a greenish yellow heirloom and it was so delicious! Any tomato will do, but green or yellow ones I think work best with the sauce…just make sure they are FIRM tomatoes. I ate these so fast! Enjoy this one!
