Fannie Flagg grew up in Birmingham, Alabama where she had close ties to the Irondale Cafe, a restaurant still serving fried chicken, creamed corn, and of course fried green tomatoes. The local spot was run by her aunt Bess Fortenberry, and served as inspiration for her 1987 novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, which she also adapted for the famous 1991 film.
