the one time i was disappointed in fried green tomatoes was at a restaurant
serving the battered, deep-fried version. they might as well have been
zucchini.

it was kinda embarrassing, as i'd been touting f.g.t.'s to my girlfriend,
who was skeptical. the odd thing is, it was a old-line seafood restaurant
in d.c. (crisfield's, for those of you who might be familiar) that is
generally well-thought of.
