Did you know the average American eats more than 22 pounds of tomatoes a year? I wonder how much of that is consumed during La Tavola’s annual celebration of the world’s favorite fruit, Tomatofeast? This delicious menu is available July 27-August 6 a la carte or 35 prix fixe. As always, Chef Richards has outdone himself with a real lip-smacker!
