It's official: the Westside Urban Market's annual Killer Tomato Festival (benefiting Georgia Organics) is now tradition. 3 in a row makes it so, right? It's etched into the city's calendar. The winners, participants, and inventive dishes will surely change, but the event's capacity for generating fun with food is all the staying power it needs.
The weather: hot. The atmosphere: carnival. The mixologists: unbelievably inventive. The chefs: truly inspired. The music: The Spazmatics again!
Here's a walking tour in pictures:

Yo. They gave it up and left nothing in the tank. Same gig, next year guys.
Sir Mixalot
Tomato Mai Tai: Deceivingly simple, delicious. The work of a true pro. Did I have more than my fair share? Yes, I did. My apologies.
July 2011, Westside Urban Market. See you next year!!
