Fannie Flagg wrote the book “Fried Green Tomatoes”. It went much more in depth about Ruth and Idgie’s feelings. They watered down that aspect for the movie so there wouldn’t be any anti-lesbian backlash. But, the book doesn’t swell on that issue. It’s A wonderfully sentimental, funny, sad book more about love than anything. Being in love, and love of others. It involves Love between people, love between friends, love of a town, and of a time long gone. I think Fanny wrote the screenplay. It was nominated for an Academy Award. She also wrote a sequel to “Tomatoes”, called “The Wonder Boy of Whistlestop”. It’s about Buddy Jr’s life. Fanny Flagg isn’t just funny, or a TV game show panelist. She is tremendously talented and wrote from the heart. She’s still alive as of this time in 2022.

Hard to believe it’s been 31 years since this great movie was made. My all time favorite. Thanks for taking us back.

I can’t thank you enough Jordan. Even though my heart breaks a little, each time I watch it. ( Because of Buddy’s dying). It is still one of my favorite movies. I would truly love to go visit it myself and have some fried green tomatoes. Thank you so much for taking us there, and presenting it as only you can do! You make everything so real, as though we are right there with you!❤️👏👏🥲🙏🥰

This is my all time favorite movie.. I have 2 dogs, one named Sipsey and 1 named Grady.. I had an Idgie, but lost her 10 years ago. Thanks for doing this.

The original Whistle Stop Cafe formed in 1929 is located in Irondale, Alabama and is now called the Irondale Cafe. You can eat there and yes Fried Green Tomatoes are served daily.

Omg you were just down the road from me about 30minutes away…way to go Jordan ,this is one of my favorites ❤️🥰

My favorite three southern movies are Steel Magnolias, Driving Miss Daisy and Fried Green Tomatoes. Many thanks Jordan for the research and sharing these classic movies with us.

I’ve seen other KZfaqrs do this location but you showed us a lot more. Thanks Jordan! One of my all time fav movies.

Didn't know part of the movie was filmed in Senoia. My family is from there. I remember going to visit family every year. It is a beautiful town.

I really loved this movie. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. I live at the end that Kathy Bates realizes that Jessica Tandy is so closely connected to Idgie

I am so glad you went there. I've been there twice and want to go back. I love this movie!

Wow, this is awesome Jordan!!😃

This makes me want to watch the movie, AGAIN..;) I’m in luck, it’s my day off. Nostalgia hit hard on this one. Another impeccable video Jordan. 💥

Nice to see you in such a good mood! Even more than usual!

Thanks Jordan, I Saw the Movie years ago. I'll have to see it again, I've forgotten it. Good Job.

This is one of my very favorite movies.....and that is saying something. I'll bet I've watched it 20 times over the years. It's one of those stories that the characters are so real that they crawl into your heart and stay there. Jordan, you should do the author, Fannie Flagg.

This is so amazing.....love this movie....❤

"secrets in the sauce" loved this movie, thanks for the tour Jordan! ❤

Whenever I get road rage, I scream “Tawanda” it helps a lot and when someone doesn’t understand something I will say, “secrets in the sauce.” I quote movies and tv fluently. This is my favorite movie. Thank youJordan. Another epic video from Jordan the Lion.

Great Movie and Great book! I've been to the whistle stop cafe and really enjoyed it. Fried green tomatoes are really good

TAWANDA!!!!! lol I love this movie, TY for sharing the movie location.

Love these location vlogs. TFS

The barbecue looks absolutely delicious!!! Love Southern cooking....👍

Another great vlog about a great southern movie! Beautiful south!

Enjoyed that very much! Cool they had that original window to see, I Liked the Hee Haw too! The Secrets in the Sauce..

One of my favorite movies 🎬 . Thank you for sharing. Hope to go there one day.

TY Jordan. Love small towns. I was born & lived in small towns. LOVE YA JAH. :)

Love this movie

The shot you heard---the ghost of Frank Bennett?? What a lovely tribute to the movie. Thanks for taking us along.

I love that movie I love your turquoise jewelry Jordan

Oh wow- another of my favorite movies! I bought my mom the book by Fannie Flagg and we were delighted when it was made into a film. Thank you Jordan and its great to see all the locations today. 😊☀️❤️

This is a great movie 🎬 I love it when Kathy Bates rams into the girls car at the store. My mom and I visited here in 2015 and ate the Cafe and walked around the town it was an amazing trip and one we won't ever forget.

Just watched this movie a few months ago, one of my favorites. What a wonderful job you did on the vlog, I didn't want it to end. I'm so glad you went back a couple of days later and ate fried green tomatoes! I would love the chance to go there and eat. Thank you, Jordan, I'm glad you like the movie too!!! 🌼

My favorite movie

Man you have been all over my stomping grounds with this vlog…glad to have you so close Jordan 🥰❤️

Enjoyed. Love the movie. Nice to see this town.

Thank you Jordan🙏💖✌️

Heck yea, love this movie. Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work you do. I love seeing all the old filming locations.

Tonight I am revisiting the movie fried green tomatoes! I haven't seen it in quite some time but viewed it years ago several times. Great video Jordan!

My sister and I went to the theater to see this movie with our mother who passed away in 2005. Very special to me. I always wanted to see this place in person. Now it feels like I have. Thank you so much for doing this Jordan.

I also dearly loved Fried Green Tomatoes. I have watched several times. It is worth it. Thank u for taking is on yr tour.

I have been to Juliette many times. The railroad company would not let the movie company leave the depot building on their property by the tracks. So, they moved it. My favorite movie!

Thank you!!!!! One of my favorite movies. Love the scene where Kathy Bates slams into VW of two younger women. I’m older and have more insurance. Love it!!!

I really love this movie. I don't remember how many times I've seen it. Great cast. Thank you for taking us there. I've never tried fried green Tomatoes but maybe one day.

I know most of thes places I lives thereThank you Jordan

Thank you Jordan for all your vlogs living in Perth Australia,never get to see all these great places you show,especially fried green tomatoes my favourite movie ♥️🇦🇺

I love Fried Green Tomatoes! Thank you for doing a filming locations video.

I've seen it a few times. It really is a great movie! Not only was The Whistle Stop open, it was hopping busy! That was great to see.

The movie fried green tomatoes is my all time favorite movie 🎬 and has been ever since i was 9 years old and seeing this little old town and the restaurant is like taking a step back in time to (1938)

Thank you for this, Jordan! "Fried Green Tomatoes" is one of my favorite movies, ever. My mom grew up in a small southern town in the late teens, 1920's and '30's, and I spent childhood summers there. Oh that food! The movie got it exactly right. My mom loved this movie too. I feel like I am watching a Valentine to her childhood. In 2016, I scattered my parents' ashes at my mom's childhood home and at another nearby home my grandparents built in 1952, where I spent some of my childhood. The theme from "Fried Green Tomatoes" was playing in my head and my heart the entire time. Again, thank you for vlogging this movie!

Love this movie! Thank you for doing this and hopefully we'll get there someday! :) So happy you got there when you did to vlog and then enjoy! Love that they did all of this in town.

Excellent video!!!! One of my all-time favorite movies! Did Jah get to take a walk at Whistle Stop?

So great to see this! I only seen bits and pieces of the movie. I now want to watch it! I really want to go to Juliet. Thanks for taking me along! Take care ❤

I’m SOOOOO glad you went back!!

This is one of my favorite movies! My husband and I went here a few years ago and loved it! Even listened to the soundtrack driving in. We got to eat at The Whistlestop Cafe and it was delicious! The fried green tomatoes were awesome and so was the “Frank Bennett” bbq lol Must’ve been closed when you went. We also filmed the restaurant area on our KZfaq channel “Will and Alesha”

Mr JORDAN, thank you for your great work , GOD bless you .

Thank you so much! I went there maybe 20 years ago and so glad it is still there, and still serving Fried Green Maters!! :)

One of my all time favorite movies. I always forget it was filmed here in Georgia. Now I want to go to Juliette and have some fried green tomatoes lol. Great vlog, Jordan! Thank you!

💋So glad you did this vlog! Love this movie! Great job as always Jordan. Safe Travels. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

Is one of my mom's favorite movies growing up. I remember watching it with her ON VHS. Dang it's from the old days

Oh wow, thank you for doing this. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time!

Wow, thanks so much for this! I literally just watched this movie the other night & at the end, I was wondering if they built this as a set or if it was a real place. This is one of my favorite movies of all time & I watch it regularly. I am thrilled to see the cafe & everything fairly close to original, lots of times people just renovate the originality out of a building. I dream of owning an old town just like this or an old west town & living there.

Glad you went back to the restaraunt the secrets in the sause lol 🙌🍹🙏💃

I was there last year the first weekend in September...the food was fantastic and of course I had the fried green tomatoes....I really enjoyed spending time there

Jordan, this is my favorite movie of all time. Thank you so much for this! Your work truly brings joy to people.

I love the movie Fried Green Tomatoes I watch ever now and then!

I’m from Valdosta originally and you pronounced it perfectly! A lot of ppl who aren’t from there pronounce it “Val-Ō-sta”. Doc Holliday drew up and had a dental office there, his dad was mayor there, too. His mom and dad are buried there and some think he may have been, too. The local museum has some stuff about him including some prescriptions and a bill handwritten by Doc. It could make for a nice stop for you sometime. And if you do, make sure to see The Crescent while you’re there.

I AM A BIG FAN OF THAT MOVIE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO.

Jah is such a good traveler 💕

This is a great video about a first-rate movie. I always thought much of it was filmed using sets. I am so happy to know and see that those memorable locations are real---especially the Whistlestop Cafe itself. Thank you for thinking of this, making a video and posting it. Good job Jordan. It enhances the experience of seeing the movie again! It was so cool of you to go back there two days later and see the cafe bustling---- and you got to eat there!

Knew nothing about the movie, but your videos are always enjoyable and the history behind them. (thanks)

We visted a few days ago on our way through GA. I thought surely there is a youtube video with a better explanation to things! Such a cute little town!

This was awesome thanks for showing us!! Love fried green tomatoes 😍 I'll have to visit those graves!

Poignant film, well done. Great ode and visit, Jordan.

This was great Jordan! Fried Green Tomatoes is a wonderful movie!

Oh man, I love this movie. I've seen it 8 times. I would absolutely love to go there to visit those places and eat at the cafe! That's so cool that you got to go there! Thank you for the excellent screen match ups too!

Fanny Flagg was a great author, All her novels were funny, dramatic , everything!. My three favorite movies of all time are #1 Gone With the Wind, #2 Steel Magnolias, and #4 Fried Green Tomatoes! Thank you
