Counting the ballots…
“Married a boy from Conecuh County so my stomach has to follow my heart.”
“The other dishes on the menu seem less specific to Alabama. Pecan pie is a close second. Chilton County peaches would’ve won my vote. My mom’s was the best; sorry you missed it.”
“WHAT CASE IS THERE TO BE MADE!! FRIED GREEN TOMATOES ARE THE BEST COMFORT FOOD.”
“Vendors set up on the side of the road with their vehicle and boiling pot. Best ones are ones you boil at home”
“The best fried green tomatoes comes from whistle stop cafe! With the fried catfish or bbq plate!! There’s literally a movie about it. And fried peach pies in clanton, Al peach park”
Alabama's ballot is an argument about sauce and cornmeal. White BBQ Chicken makes the mayo-vinegar case; Conecuh Sausage answers with hickory smoke out of Evergreen. The cornmeal crust covers Fried Catfish, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Fried Okra. Boiled Peanuts work the roadside stand in a salt brine. Dessert splits four ways: bourbon-soaked Lane Cake, Banana Pudding under meringue, Pecan Pie, and Pecan Praline, the last two leaning on the same nut. What Alabama is famous for may come down to which fryer you trust. So what is Alabama's official state dish? Ten dishes are on the ballot.
