			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For months we&#8217;ve been trying to get to the Green Tomato in Texarkana. They boast that they are &#8220;home of the greatest burger that ever lived.&#8221;  We had to see about that.  In addition to being intrigued about that claim, one of my good friends happens to be the aunt of the owner.</p>
<div id="attachment_1030" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1030" title="RVW 006a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-006a.jpg" alt="Janelle, wearing their motto." width="210" height="310" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Janelle, wearing their motto.</p></div>
<p>We ordered the special, and with that comes an appetizer.  We couldn&#8217;t decide so we got fried pickles and fried green tomatoes.  Both were a very good decision.  They were light and crispy, which is not always an easy thing to accomplish when you are frying veggies.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1032" title="RVW 008" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-0081.JPG" alt="RVW 008" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1033" title="RVW 010a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-010a.jpg" alt="RVW 010a" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p>I ordered a salad with grilled chicken.  It was perfect.  I hesitated because I am very very very picky about the chicken that goes on chicken salads.  All too often restaurants use some sort of rubbery mess that comes frozen out of a bag, but this was fresh and delicious.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1031" title="RVW 018a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-018a1.jpg" alt="RVW 018a" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p>Rod pretty much always gets a chicken fried steak or a burger, but he surprised everybody by ordering a chicken breast smothered in ham, cheese, and onions; a sort of deconstructed chicken cordon bleu if you will.  And again to everybody&#8217;s surprise Rod enjoyed his meal.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1034" title="a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/a.jpg" alt="a" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p>Boo was the only one to order a burger at the place that claims to have the best, and she chose the Green Tomato Burger, which places a fried green tomato in place of a raw red one.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1035" title="RVW 015" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-015.JPG" alt="RVW 015" width="210" height="310" /></p>
<p>Not only was it delicious according to her, it was so big that Rod had to take up the slack and finish the other half of it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1036" title="RVW 019a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-019a1.jpg" alt="RVW 019a" width="210" height="310" />Did I mention that our special came with dessert?   Boo got her usual ice cream (not part of the special) and we split a homemade sopapilla cheesecake.  It was delicious.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1037" title="RVW 021a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-021a.jpg" alt="RVW 021a" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1038" title="RVW 024a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-024a.jpg" alt="RVW 024a" width="210" height="310" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1039" title="RVW 029a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-029a.jpg" alt="RVW 029a" width="210" height="310" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1040" title="RVW 007a" src="http://www.redvelvetwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/RVW-007a.jpg" alt="RVW 007a" width="310" height="210" /></p>
<p>The special was an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $12.99.  We think that&#8217;s a steal, especially considering the great taste and portion sizes.  This restaurant is the kind of place that has a friendly diner atmosphere and eclectic clientele that give it a unique ambiance to match the food.  Visit their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=wall&amp;id=1313020902#!/pages/Texarkana-TX/The-Green-Tomato/303665741764?ref=ts">Facebook </a>and then visit them in person!</p>
