The 5th annual Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival took place at JCT. Kitchen Sunday afternoon. Lines, full of smiling faces and empty stomachs, stretched around the surrounding buildings 30 minutes before doors opened. Guests were treated to an array of tomato-infused dishes and beverages including heirloom tomato sno cones, gazpacho, and tomato “pop tarts.” Each dish was judged by a panel of chefs and food writers. Live music from the 80’s tribute band the Spazmatics and Atlanta chef band, Five Bone Rack, kept guest entertained along with a dunk-a-chef dunking booth.
