Fried Green Tomatoes

Monday night I had dinner at this very eclectic restaurant, but it was not a planned dinner in the least bit. A certain boy I've been spending some time with decided to take a little afternoon trip to Meridian. While he tended to some business, I shopped. When the mall closed, I decided to do a little exploring. I had never been to this town, and I've heard they have a cute downtown area like Hattiesburg (which I am currently obsessed with!). I am pretty confident in my directional skills in times of exploration. Well at least I was until the streets starting splitting randomly and suddenly vearing. Then throw some one-way streets into the mix and I was absolutely confused. After about 10 minutes of thinking I should be headed one way, I found my landmark street was in the opposite direction. I honestly do not know how I got so turned around, but I found my way nonetheless. Before finding my way back to where my nerves were at comfort, I did find a little restaurant called the Hungry Heifer. Some might have looked at the Christmas light and road sign decorations and turned around. Not me! What personality! Plus the name described EXACTLY what I was by this time. One very, very hungry girl! So I picked up the boy and we were on our way to eat. I was so proud of my find, though he was a little hesitant.

I have to say, the fried green tomatoes were probably the best ever. They rival Crescent City! I know, that good! True they did not have the delicious crawfish and crab on top, but they were so good without. The portions were big, so I had some for lunch the next day. Still good even warmed up (in the oven though mind you). A must eat if ever in the area. Getting lost turned out to be pretty fruitful if I do say so myself!

P.S.-- Don't ask how to get there... like I remember :)
