This season, we’re celebrating tomatoes from Valdivia Farms, 🍃J.R. Organics Farm🍃, Girl & Dug Farm, and other local farms whose fields are just a short drive from our kitchen. Harvested at their peak, these tomatoes capture the flavor of a Southern California summer and remind us that the best ingredients are often grown right in our own backyard.
Our first course, Tomate, takes the ingredient in a completely different direction. Using the ancient technique of nixtamalization, the tomato is filled with Humboldt Fog, chia, lime, and basil. At the table, liquid nitrogen creates a dramatic cold fog, chilling the tomato to the perfect temperature and transforming the first course into an interactive expression of summer.
