Such
a juicy storyline: bushels of real tomatoes give in to the hands of a united
front of 37 star Southern chefs, 12 maniacal mixologists and 30+ farmers whose
toiling enables the whole coup. The victors? Georgia Organics, beneficiary of the
fourth annual JCT. Kitchen Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival,
and tomato devotees.
The event will spill out of headquarters at JCT. Kitchen
& Bar and into the Westside Provisions District complex on Sunday, July 22
from 1-5 p.m. Purchase tickets online through Xorbia for $70 per
person.
Last year’s event raised almost $40,000 for Georgia Organics, and Ford
Fry, owner/chef of JCT. Kitchen & Bar, No. 246 and The Optimist, hopes this
year’s event will grow even more greens for the group.
The festival is ripe for
people watching as judges include Garden
& Gun Deputy Editor Dave Mezz, Esquire Restaurant Features Writer John Mariani, Food & Wine
Associate Food Editor Daniel Gritzer and actor David
Miller, who played Mason Dixon in the original “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”
movie. Co-masters of ceremonies are Angie
Mosier, food writer, stylist and photographer, and Carolyn O’Neil, registered dietician,
author and food journalist. Jump to live entertainment from The Spazmatics and
local chef band Five Bone Rack.
