This spectacular, tomato themed event brings together some of the South’s best chefs, farmers and mixologists to join forces to benefit Georgia Organics. Last year’s festival raised a whopping $17,000 for Georgia Organics! Join us this year and help us beat that record!
Top Tomato Ford Fry, owner and executive chef of JCT. Kitchen & Bar and co-owner of the soon-to-open No. 246 in Atlanta, is heading up the celebration and turning JCT. Kitchen & Bar into a tomato sanctuary that will also span the upstairs bar and outdoor courtyard area. This year’s festival has been expanded to include an additional 400 tickets for a total of 1,400 available for attendees and will spread out over the Westside Provisions District bridge to feature more chef and mixologist participants. With help from our friends at Xorbia, we’re also streamlining the registration process with the use of barcoded tickets!
