The location for one famous flick chick caught the attention of 3 Magpies. Juliette is situated just off I75 a couple of hours south of Atlanta. The movie set facade houses several small gift shops, but the cafe is no facade. It was refurbished and brought back to life for the filming and has been in the genuine restaurant business ever since.
"Whistlestop" Train Depot
Note the train moving through town behind the depot. Are we lucky or what?
The infamous railroad track of movie fame were particularly interesting to CeCe. She also captured a shot of the long since closed industrial building which now houses a Harley Davidson motorcycle museum... only open on weekends.
Of course we ordered Fried Green Tomatoes and we ate them up feeling quite nostalgic in doing so. The spicy crispy breading crunched with each bite and we left happy and full.
We give Fried Green Tomatoes (both the food and the movie) "thumbs-up"!
Life is Good!

3 Magpies: You know something? My mother used to fray them with bread crumbs on top and they are a great source of Vitamin C. Stop by and let's catch up! :)
I absolutely loved the movie. How nice that the Whistlestop Cafe is an actual eatery. Now if only Ruth & Idgie were in the kitchen!
