In the words of a viral 2019 tweet from writer Sarah Lazarus: “every day we have to wake up, confront the most upsetting shit we’ve ever seen, and then walk around obeying laws and saying ‘it’s tomato season.'” That being said…it’s tomato season. Glorious, juicy red orbs are everywhere you look, and we highly recommend taking full advantage while you can during their limited run. Here, we’ve gathered some options worth your time, from tiny tomato tarts at Bakeshop to the “PBLT” (pork belly, lettuce, tomato) sandwich at Lardo. For more inspiration, check out our food and drink guide.
