Frank's Red Hot Sauce Fried Green Tomatoes

I walked outside to check on the garden and found a heavy, beautiful green tomato sitting on the ground-huh??? So I brought it in and decided to try some Frank's Red Hot Sauce Fried Green Tomatoes:@) I think pretty much everyone would tell you, the main flavor in fried tomatoes is the crust... The hot sauce adds a little tang, and of course I suggest serving them with some blue cheese dressing for dipping, and the bottle of Frank's on the table. And yes, I did shake the Frank's on top of the dressing before eating.

The beauty I found on the ground:
