One of the best ways to enjoy Atlanta in the summer heat happens when the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival roars into town. The festival sticks to a formula that works:
- a simple, creative theme: food or drink or both - incorporate tomatoes
- a great location (JCT Kitchen and its culinary atrium of neighboring restaurants in the White Provisions development, Westside, Atlanta)
- a great band (the Spazmatics from Austin, TX: seeking asylum, covering everything and appropriately killing it)
and each year some lyprocene-deficient soul is sacrificed to the Man-Eating Tomato to assure cloudless, sunny skies.
Here's the story as I saw it "cherry-picking" some of my favorites. Enjoy.
