I hope it's been a great season so far, wherever you're growing the world's favorite summer treat.(Send us pics and updates at tomatomaniahq@aol.com!)

To celebrate the harvest as we do each year, we'll our Hollywood tasting and then a new event in Culver City this month. If you're following us on Facebook or watching our website you know the dates but here's the rest of the story...Join us!

On Saturday, August 7th it's our annual share and share alike tasting at Hollywood's Loteria Grill (Loteriagrill.com, 6627 Hollywood Blvd.) Meet fellow 'maniacs to taste the fruits of our labors and enjoy some culinary hints and creations from Jimmy Shaw, one of LA's most engaging chefs.

On August 14th we chart new territory at LA's favorite chef and foodie hang out, Surfas in Culver City (SurfasLosAngeles.com, 8777 Washington Blvd, Culver City).
