Cornmeal Fried Green Tomatoes and a Ginger Peach Julep

04/27/2021

Cornfried Green Tomatoes

The folks at Honey Salt restaurant in Las Vegas sent us these for Cornmeal Fried Green Tomatoes for the 2021 Kentucky Derby, but we think they’d be great at any time.

Apparently, it’s a favorite of restaurant owner and Vegas socialite, Elizabeth Blau. We’ll drink to that—a Ginger Peach Julep that Honey Salt designed to go with the Cornmeal Fried Green Tomatoes. Cheers!
