who was the killer in fried green tomatoes
Fried Green Tomatoes After the trial, Ruth is diagnosed with cancer, becomes very ill, and eventually dies. Following her death, the cafÃ© closes. Over time, many Whistle Stop residents eventually move away, bringing Ninny to the end of her story, but not before the revelation of what really happened to Frank. Sipsey killed him with a blow to the head with a heavy cast iron frying pan while trying to prevent him from kidnapping Buddy, Jr. Idgie got Big George to barbecue Frank's body, which was later served to an investigator from Georgia searching for him. The investigator ate with gusto, proclaiming his meal the best pork barbecue he'd ever tasted.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe The "Whistle Stop Cafe" is loosely based on the Irondale Cafe in Irondale, Alabama, a suburb near Flagg's birthplace. The cafe was bought by Flagg's aunt, Bess Fortenberry, in 1932 and run by herself and two friends for four decades.[7] It is still in operation and, like the fictional cafe, is known for its fried green tomatoes.[8]
