Publisher's Synopsis
The Irondale Cafe began in 1928 as a hotdog stand. It was purchased around 1932 by Miss Bess Fortenberry, the aunt of actress and author Fannie Flagg. Little did Mary Jo McMichael and her husband, Bill, know when they purchased the cafe from Miss Bess in 1972 that it would be immortalised by Fannie Flagg as the Whistle Stop Cafe in the hit book and movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". Now it's a cookbook!
