I made this for my husband and he hasn't stopped saying how good it is. Thank you!

[@ramencurry6672]

I had this last night at a bar. Served in sandwich form with melted goat cheese and fresh arugula. Really good!

[@Erin7897]

I have never had or made green fried tomatoes before, but my boyfriend really wanted them. I’m using your instructions plus a little bit of Parmesan cheese and they are turning out amazing thank you.

[@StuPedassol]

Such a different "tone and feel" compared to today's recipes! ❤

[@brontiq]

I was thinking the same. So very different from current videos. Kinda dry and a bit boring. We can see a looot of progress here :)

[@Cihanxoxo]

I couldnt help but notice that bug at 1:38 😂😂😂😂

[@hannahaguilar435]

I saw it too!!! I thought it was hovering around my screen.

[@smtishappy]

@@hannahaguilar435 I had to rewind to make sure that was what I saw! 😬 “Special ingredient”. Still I enjoy watching his videos!

[@danao1796]

I just made these 20 minutes ago! Followed your recipe with the exception of the cornmeal. I didn't have any, so I used panko with the bread crumb. It was delicious!

[@massdiggah]

Just picked a bag full of green tomatoes here in eastern Mass, I love serendipity! Thanks Chef John, Happy Halloween!

[@ddeaae]

I could eat Fried Green Tomatoes every day with grits. No I'm not southern Lady but I love my favorite southern foods!

[@yolandaponkers1581]

Omg!!! I can’t believe you’ve been making videos since before you got your signature cadence!

[@NikkiPresleyNC]

My neighbor just gave me a bunch of fresh, still green tomatoes. I was wanting to try this.

[@frilled2b]

I seen a fruit fly at 1:38, is that some extra protein?

[@TNBen60]

You know I get tickled at the comments. I grew up in the south with bacon grease and cornmeal when making a lot of things including this. This is not a strict replication of what I grew up with but how boring would that be? I tried this just as he laid it out and found it to be a rather tasty variation. Good groceries!

[@Tunamelt212]

Man, it's been a long time

[@tanana2070]

I have only green tomatoes this year, they're not ripening for whatever reason. This recipe is it!! Plus I'll make some chow chow. It's all good!

[@stevenvicino8687]

Makes me want to watch a certain favorite movie.

[@alexcanto4009]

Daisy Duke!

[@grammyd8361]

My favorite food! But I just use cornmeal, flour, bacon grease and herbs and spices. Hard to find the green ones though but I get the hard pink ones. I can't have a garden or plants on my po4ch where I live so, have to buy them! 😩

[@joeecarbonee6849]

You taught me well👍 .im from Kentucky and im half italian. Haha😜 You rock brother👍

Thank you for a short video ❤️

Geez Louise 14 yrs ago Timeless cuz I'm searching recipes tonight

[@leonardosgood7819]

Plays Dixie...."Oh, yeah." 😄

[@GlacialRidgeHomestead]

what kind of oil did you use?

[@joelalexander4513]

Vegetable. But try avocado oil. Its nuetral and fries great

[@paulpercival8552]

That would be great on a BLT sandwich

[@jonnyrox116]

This must be a SoCal recipe because in the south we fry them in bacon grease and without bread crumbs!

[@kingofallpie]

you leave us out of this overcomplicated nonsense

[@jakemitchell1671]

I was thinking the same thing. Here in Mississippi you won't find bread crumbs on fried green maters. Usually some combo of flour and cornmeal. Bacon grease is preferred but not necessary. If you get your slices dry enough you don't have to use an egg and milk wash. You can just coat the dry batter on, let sit for 10 minutes, and fry.

[@l.g.2888]

I don't even use cornmeal, I just dip in buttermilk and then in seasoned flour. They fry up so nice and golden brown without the gritty texture.

[@samuraitoaster]

@@l.g.2888 Same here. I know cornmeal is used often for this but I really prefer it with just flour. I’ve also never had them with a sauce. I don’t know if that’s “normal” or not but I think they don’t need anything else! Not even a fork lol just pick ‘em up and eat.

[@janetmunoz2805]

Chef John, you forgot the ole "fork don't lie".

[@johngreene9824]

Yea...the horn can go....looks delicious

[@axlegrind4212]

how about sticking to eating your bland food if you don't like southern culture

[@SeeburgMusic]

LOVE the horn! USA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scotttully8572]

“Stem dealie ”😂

[@annieroche22]

Who saw the bug ?

1:38-1:40 small insect runs under tomato😂

[@WiseAilbhean]

Ah the early days. Here because Kathy Bates was trending on Twitter and a favorite movie of mine, “Fried Green Tomatoes” honey

[@craffte]

you want them to be crunchy.

[@je9337]

Was that an insect that crawled under the tomato?

[@TheLisaDeesDelightsShow]

Yummy

[@craffte]

bread crumbs? Regular milk?? Oh lord. still good, I guess.

[@MackeyDeez]

If only I can find a farmer's market

[@CreggLund]

I'm pretty sure today, Sept 2020, that Dukes of Hazard horn would trigger a whole bunch of race baiters.

[@tedrowell659]

2023.. I'm surprised YT hasn't banned this video because of the horn.

[@halicarnassus8235]

Only paranoids think that would happen

[@thelasttaarakian]

That stupid general lee noise makes me laugh every time

[@alteredLori]

Bacon grease!!!! bot butter and oil blah! what Southern taught you?

[@peduzzi89]

Love love LOVE Chef John...but am I the only musician hearing that the sound effect is a diminished triad instead of a major triad? It makes me cringe every time I hear it!

[@Ethelgiggle]

Yea it is but it sounds spicy I kinda like it

[@SeeburgMusic]

Yeah you're the only one.

[@joelalexander4513]

I don't think they usually manufacture bike horns that are pitch perfect for youtube cooking vids.

[@CeiCie]

I wish he had kept this cadence in his newer videos. Because of the way he talks now, for me, his videos are unwatchable 😢

[@cherylbishop7657]

Why don't you sound like you.?...

[@georgeclayton6575]

Flour? NO! NO! NO! Dredge slices in cornmeal/bread crumbs and place in hot oil until golden brown. Flour insulates the slices from cooking properly.

[@SeeburgMusic]

Bullshit. Like everything fried is dredged in flour. It has no effect on the cooking of the product.

[@georgeclayton6575]

@@SeeburgMusic Not the cooking, but certainly the taste and texture. You must learn to take suggestions.

[@dennismcginnis]

Yeah you screwed up from the beginning. Nice try.

[@georgeclayton6575]

Your tomatoes were not cooked. Throw the flour away.

[@TamarLitvot]

Just found this because I bought some green tomatoes. Love your recipes, but your choice of Dixie was poor. So much of southern cooking is from the Black community and that music is affront.

[@Rubycon99]

Knew someone would complain 🙄

[@dwaynebuggs4080]

I like your recipes but "Dixie" was a poor choice of theme music; a recognizable racist tune.

[@bobjones1620]

That horn is about as appropriate as the confederate flag is these days. Time to retire that sound file to the trash!! The green fried tomatoes look good though!

[@SeeburgMusic]

NEVER RETIRE THE SOUND OF DIXIE! GO FUCK YOURSELF, BOB. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.

[@cyrus3665]

The video’s from 12 years ago Bob.
