- I have been working like crazy to catch up on all the TV I missed when I was in Nashville. It is a grueling task, but I am committed. Right now I’m taking a little break because I thought I’d better get something to drink. Because I find that when watching excessive amounts of television, it’s always wise to stay well-hydrated. It helps with the leg cramps.
- This next sentence will only make sense to you if you’re watching “24,” and if you’re not watching “24″ feel free to skip to the next thing, but I just need to say this: Y’all, I cannot believe that Tony Almeda. THE NERVE.
- I do have a picture of Amy Grant from the ASCAP dinner, but I haven’t gotten it uploaded yet. The picture doesn’t show off her hair in its full glory, but it will definitely give you the general idea. Also: I did not take the picture because I was too afraid to talk to her. However, we did make eye contact very briefly and I smiled. THAT WAS THE BEST I COULD DO, Y’ALL.
- And speaking of the ASCAP Awards, I have another post or two that I’ll put up sometime very soon when the DVR is no longer demanding so much of my attention.
- Earlier this afternoon I was talking to Annie, and she told me that she and her family were about to go eat at a restaurant that serves fried green beans as an appetizer.
“Well,” I replied, “I’m going to need to hear more about this.”
Apparently this restaurant takes whole, cooked green beans, batters them, and then slaps them in a deep fryer until they’re golden and crispy.
I don’t know when I’ve ever been more intrigued by a fried food that I’ve not yet experienced.
So Annie told me she’d send me a picture from the restaurant, and as my mama would say, IT CAME THROUGH ON THE EMAIL just a few minutes ago.
Have y’all ever heard of such?

Yes! And they are delicious! You must try them =). Just looking at for ya….
TGI Friday’s has them. They serve them with a cucumber-wasabi ranch dip – VERY YUMMY!
Tony Almeda?! I KNOW!!! Jack is soooo going to kick his butt.
The fried green beans look delish.
Our fave Chinese restaurant serves a fried green bean dish on the vegetable menu, but the batter is lighter than that in the photo. Unfortunately.
Nate’s Mom
YES! Fridays has them but PF Changs has them better! I believe in my heart that that is the way vegetables were meant to be enjoyed…I am sure they will be on the banquet table in Heaven! Mmmmmmmm.
Tony is a bad bad man!
Friday’s has those, as well as a place called Joe’s Tavern in South Bend, IN. They are so, so yummy! I also love deep-fried jalapeno peppers…SO YUMMY AS WELL!
Oh you have GOT to go get you some deep fried green beans!! They are SO good!
They fry pickles at a local restaurant. Since I don’t eat pickles, they rank up there with the Crawfish Broil.
I have not, but I just finished planting a whole mess of pole beans- I will definitely be trying that this summer- if you’re in Nashville, give me a ring and we’ll do a little experiment!
Wow. I need to move to the South.
Girl I have a box of those in my freezer right now! Trying to get the kids to eat their veggies :) they sell them at target. It’s their brand even…worth a try. Love the “came through on the email.” hilarious
Mark called me about two years ago when he was in Georgia to tell me that he had just eaten the best things he’d ever tasted. When I asked him what, he said, “Fried Green Beans.”
Also, TGIFriday’s has them, if I’m not mistaken.
I’ve seen them on the menu before at a couple of restaurants but never tried them. If I’m having a fried vegetable I prefer FRIED PICKLES! YUM! YUM! YUM!
Fried green beans are okay, but they are no fried pickles. Fried pickles and ranch dressing are where it is AT, mama.
Also, Tony? That scoundrel. I’m so disappointed in him.
We have deep fried green beans in MN…have had them several times and they are SOOOO good. You must try them. I can’t think of a more divine way to enjoy vegetables.
I must say that the fried green beans are a new one for me. I am willing to try them if I ever see them on a menu anywhere.
Had them @ TGI Friday’s!! They are super YUM!!!
I think TGI Fridays deep fries the green beans, too. I’ve never had them, but I’ve heard of it… It doesn’t sound super appetizing to me, but I’ve never met a green bean that I didn’t like – so I suppose I could choke them down.
Speaking of choking, I would murder that Tony Almeda via choking if he wasn’t so lucky to be a fictional character. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more shocked, followed immediately by saddened, by a turn of events on TV.
Love me some fried green beans! You have to try them. YummY!!
Oh yes, but I’ve never tried them. However I love fried mac and cheese (have you had that?) and fried green tomatoes. Oh and fried squash. However my favorite fried food of all time is fried pickles!! Now I’m wishing I had some. And as far as I know… Lubbock doesn’t have a restaurant that serves fried pickles and I’m sure I’d mess those up if I tried to do it myself. : )
If you like Amy’s hair, you must be thrilled that Jillian is the next Bachelorette b/c that means that we get to covet her voluminous Canadian hair week after week! My joy knows no bounds!
Also, my mom bought some frozen fried green beans at the store recently and last time we visited she said I just HAD to try them. They were the TGI Fridays brand. Is that where your friend was going?
OH! And the fried broccoli @ “the” Red Lobster? Mouth-watering!
they are delicious… you can get them at sam’s and such, but they aren’t as good as the ones at friday’s.
BooMama!
Next time you are in Nashville on a Sunday you can go to church with me! Amy goes to my church and sits about 3 rows in front of me! And her hair is always fabulous!
I have to find these. YUM!
Ever tried fried pickles? My absolute favorite… DELICIOUS!
How can we get off course with fried green beans when we are waiting to see AMY??? (Now, fried Awesome Blossoms? I could wait a little more patiently for Amy.)
We have them here in Oklahoma City at the Paseo Grill. They are delish!
Lunch. TGI Fridays. Soon. Fried green beans. Call or text. Nuff said about that.
i have not only heard about it, i found a recipe online through “copycat recipes.” i haven’t tried it out yet because i’m not really good at the deep frying thing. but i have the recipe for when i dare to brave the hot oil!
Yum! Have you ever tried green bean “chips”. I don’t know how they make them but they have the crunch of a chip but they still look like green beans. Yummy!
Oh yes m’am, and they are absolutely DELISH!!!
Oh, those green beans are so good. I’ve had them at TGI Friday’s and at PF Changs. YUMMMMMM.
Agreed on Tony. I mean, SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY! (I watch a little too much Grey’s Anatomy, k?). I’ve only been watching since about the 3pm-4pm hour of 24 but stillllllllllllllll TONY???
On a totally separate note, I had never heard of Louie Giglio. Well okay, man, I am blown away. Utterly, completely, tears in my eyes, goosebumps on my arms blown away. Where can I get more of him????? Oh and Laminin… that’s pretty wonderful. Evident. Astounding. No doubt created by God :)
Yep–I’ve eaten them and they’re delicious! PF Changs, a Chinese restaurant in the are, is where I’ve had them. You should try them, because I think a true southerner like yourself will love them!
First, Tony Almeida, make up your dern mind. Pick a side!
Second, PF Chang’s fried green beans are awesome! They have a spicy, cheesy sauce for dipping. Who wouldn’t like that??? I think TGIFriday’s has them too.
P F chang’s has them (I think several people have said that) but I have to be honest – they are no fried pickle. I like them but I certainly don’t sit around dreaming about them.
Fried green beans are good, but you MUST try fried asparagus. Oh, my word.
Yes! They are yummy and you would totally love them!
Yes, I’ve had the fried green beans from PF Changs and their 20 kinds of awesome!!!!
Yes!!! We have those at our State Fair (and other places). They are nummy. :)
Tony has absolutelly lost his mind. I’m really wondering/hoping for/expecting some kind of twist and maybe it was all a dream. :) I doubt it though.
And the green beans are great. You can get them at our Sam’s Clubs here in NC. They come with the sauce too. Very yummy.
I have heard of fried green beans but never tried them. I have, however, made bacon wraped fried asparagus. yum yum
I’ve heard of fried green beans and that they’re supposedly really good. I’ve never been brave enough to try them.
Heard about this on KLOVE’s news this morning and figured you’d be blogging about it! LOL
OH! Hubs’ favorite restaurant here serves those fried green beans, and they are a marvel. Maybe if you end up coming for a visit, we can go do some samplin’.
Great. I am eating my dinner of asparagus and shrimp alfredo while I’m reading blogs. Everything was fine until I read about the grean beans.
Now I want some of those.
I should rephrase…
I want some of those now.
Thank you.
Where I’m from, you can fry just about anything and call it dinner. :)
Soph, I had fried green beans just last night at a restaurant called Jack’s in Bay St. Louis. Very good, but I like the fried artichoke hearts better. :)
I have heard of such but I haven’t eaten them yet! Goodness they look good!
You know Paula Deen would be all about this. :)
Anything that looks like that must be very yummy!!
As for 24, we have just finished season 2….so I will just tuck that lil’ piece of info away for later :0) Chris would have my head in a gym bag, if I told him. He’s serious about not knowing what’s going to happen.
I bet Amy thought, “What a beautiful smile! Wish she’d talk with me…”
