Tomatoes

Posted by Foobooz on 4th August 2008

We here at Foobooz headquarters are very finicky about our tomatoes. We try not to be but about 11 months out of the year we find ourselves pulling them off sandwiches or completely ignoring them like a culinary wallflower. But this time of year we open our heart to the tomato. It’s local tomato season and a couple local restaurants are capitalizing with special menus.

Tonight’s barbecue menu at Lolita’s is chock full of tomatoes from the garden shot of gazpacho, to lamb, chorizo and shrimp skewers.

And at Matyson it’s all about the “fruit of the vine” with their 5 course tasting menu this week. Say hello to heirloom tomato Napoleon and pan roasted filet mignon with bacon, green onion grits and smoked tomato coulis.

UPDATE: Bindi has gotten in on the tomato craze with their Farmers’ Market menu for the week. There’s heirloom tomatoes in every course.

Full menus after the jump.

They also offer workshops and throughout the summer the are combining the workshops with a taste of the “flavors” that inspired the soaps and lip balms. Each Wednesday night in July and August, from 6 to 8pm everyone is invited to experience the process of making soaps and balms while sipping on a margarita from Lolita or sampling Capogiro’s limoncello sorbetto while brewing a fresh batch of limoncello soap.
