Sipsey: Secret’s in the sauce.
Ninny: Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a plate of fried green tomatoes like we used to have at the café.
Aside from the title dish, the Whistle Stop Café featured in Fried Green Tomatoes is best known for its savory barbecued ribs. A certain incident leads to a substitution for the usual pork ribs, and the “mystery meat” makes the best barbecue the sheriff has ever tasted.
