If
you think you’re seeing red this coming week, it’s due to the
impending Tasty Tomato Restaurant Feast that starts July 11 and runs
through the July 18. Thirty local restaurants are offering specials
that feature the red, or yellow, or green, or hell, even purple,
summer orb in a variety of dishes. Offerings include a breakfast
special from Drip on Main that combines Wil-Moore Farms scrambled
eggs with fresh City Roots tomatoes, spring onions, garlic, and
capers on an English muffin; or, for lunch, the coffee shop's take on
the classic caprese salad drizzled with a housemade spicy olive oil.
Keeping with the Italian tradition of serving plenty of tomatoes, Il
Giorgione is including tomatoes in every course, from a bruschetta
appetizer to the spaghetti sciue’ sciue’ to salumi e formaggi,
aka the Italian cold cut and cheese plate, alongside pickled green
tomatoes. Columbia’s newest health food restaurant, Black Bean
Company, is even getting in on the action with its honey turkey bacon
club wrap with fresh roma tomatoes. The Restaurant Feast is a prelude
to the Tasty Tomato Festival, which will be held on July 19 at City
Roots. For more information on the Tasty Tomato Restaurant Feast or
the festival, check out tastytomatofestival.com. The calendar of
specials that will be available at the restaurants is getting updated
daily. - See more at:
