This is our twist on a deep south classic. We paired this recipe for Summer Fried Green Tomatoes up with the country music duo The Springs. Stewart and Holly enjoys fried goodness like most people from the south. We figured it was a good idea to pair our favorite duo with our most requested recipe. We use Italian style panko bread crumbs, rather than the traditional batter. It gives the tomatoes a nice crunch without the excess batter. When you pair the tomatoes with the aioli it really feels like a summer party. Check out our interview with The Springs by clicking here.
