Homemade Hungry Bear YUM

So, it's no secret that one of my absolute FAVES is the fried green tomato sandwich at the Hungry Bear in Critter Country. The green tomatoes! The aioli! The jicama slaw!
I had a couple green tomatoes I needed to use, so I figured I'd try a semi-homemade version of perfection, just using what I could find around the kitchen.
It was pretty easy to fry the tomatoes up - slice, then dredge in 1) flour, 2) beaten egg, & 3) breadcrumbs, fry in butter/olive oil for a couple minutes on each side till they're browned and tasty. For slaw I just used what I had on hand, which was red bell peppers. Likewise with bread (King's Hawaiian rolls) and "spicy aioli" (thousand island dressing + hot sauce, haha!). 
Yeah, very on the fly. But guess what, it was super tasty and was a refreshing taste of "home." Yummy! 
I have made Disney foods at home quite a bit - with varying degrees of success. I'll try to keep up with posting all our food adventures.
