<P> 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 . It is still in operation and , like the fictional cafe , is known for its fried green tomatoes . </P>
