Eight Months Till Tomato Time

Brrr…. It’s cold outside! We’re only 11 days into January and I am already tired of this wintry weather. I’ve decided to thaw my thoughts out and think about summer and all the fun food events that come along with it. My favorite is the JCT. Kitchen & Bar "Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival"and although it’s still about eight months away (Sunday, August 8, 2010), some of Atlanta’s top chefs have already signed up to participate.

To date, the following chefs have signed on to brave the killer tomatoes:
Ford Fry of JCT. Kitchen & Bar; Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill (and "Top Chef Las Vegas" fame!); Kevin Rathbun of Rathbun's, Krog Bar and Kevin Rathbun Steak; Anne Quatrano of Abattoir, Bacchanalia and Floataway Café; Gary Mennie of Livingston; and Carvel Grant Gould of Canoe.

JCT. Kitchen & Bar: In Atlanta's Westside Urban Market at 1198 Howell Mill Road, Suite 18; 404-355-2252.
