It's almost Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival time!
In its sixth year, the annual benefit for Georgia Organics is set for July 20, featuring some 30 farmers, 50 chefs and 20 mixologists, who will come together to show off their tomato growing, cooking and mixing skills for a good cause.
This year, there's a new venue, Goat Farm Arts Center, which promises to accommodate a much bigger crowd. But to my surprise, there are still tickets left to the always sold-out afternoon of eating, drinking, music and more.
If you've never been, a cover story I wrote for last week's AJC Food section will give you a flavor of some of the tomato dishes you can expect from three Atlanta chefs, Joe Schafer of King + Duke, Matt Basford of Canoe, and Derek Dollar of Milton's Cuisine & Cocktails. And there's a tomato cocktail recipe from bartender Mercedes O'Brien of Gunshow .
