I will admit that I've never tried fried green tomatoes before, and that probably has a bearing on my rating. I was saddled with WAY too many unripe tomatoes before our first frost here, so I decided to give them a try. I didn't care for them, though they were nice and crispy. A healthy dose of salt made them more palatable, but still, they are too sour for my tastes. If you like fried green tomatoes, this may be a great recipe, but I'm not about to make them again.

I made these for a cookout and everyone LOVED them! Some guests even said they were the best they ever tasted. The panko really makes a huge difference in the crisp. I think I am going to start using panko for all my breadings. The only thing I did differently was salt the sliced tomatoes and lay them out on a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes so that they have a great seasoning. (that's a Paula Deen trick I will definitely be making these again!!
