Tomatomania hosted their annual tasting at Loteria Grill over the weekend. I had a great time at this event last year and did an in-depth recap with my favorite new varieties.
While I didn't come across any new finds that knocked me out of the water this year, the season has been so poor this year in my garden that I still feel like I am testing the ones I discovered last season, and I'll probably grow them again next year.
The food at the event this time around was sublime, thanks to Chef Jimmy Shaw, and the growing discussion was as lively as ever. I learned a few things in the discussion about fish emulsion as a fertilizer and about growing worms. My favorite menu items were the yellow tomato-guava juice, the heirloom tomato and melon salad, the goat cheese-heirloom tart, and the tomato flan (!). I would never have thought to pair melons with tomatos in a salad. The simple dish was fresh and inviting.
There was even a producer taping the event for a story on the radio show Off Ramp, so I'll be looking for my interview in the coming weeks.
