Fast Food - A "Guilty" Pleasure….

Five guys is great!
Let's talk about that tomato pulls up soapbox and steps up. I haven't had a decent tomato that wasn't homegrown or purchased at a farmer's market in over 20 years. Fast food and mid-range restaurants aren't using tomatoes, yet people still ask for them. I actually love a tomato slice on my burger, but the plasticky, anemic, pink slices of so-called tomato aren't worth it. Why do we tolerate shitty tomatoes? We need to vote with our wallets.
Or maybe you enjoyed that tomato slice? If so, more power to you.
Grape tomatoes are the last good ubiquitous tomatoes. I'm sure we'll find a way to screw those up too.

@seawolf I have had some good tomatoes in Florida and also in South America recently. It is that they are all GMO and out of season now.
-
Why they specially engineered a 90% core tomato for use in fast food sandwiches is beyond me.
I haven’t knowingly eaten an unprocessed tomato since my honeymoon in Greece (in 2013). Unless you can show me where you grew it I’m not interested. Even those would probably be a poor facimile of a Greek tomato.

Crown Burger here does pastrami on their burgers, and they also have steak fries as pictured above.
While I do enjoy it, I normally go double bacon cheeseburger there.

Yep! Can't wait for summer. That's when we should be eating tomatoes

There's nothing quite like a good tomato.

I eat tomatoes year-round, if you count processed tomatoes for things like Bolognese
There are some great growers around here and we hope to join them in 2020. Nothing like my wife's tomato pie made from home grown maters.
-
sliced tomatoes and Old Home cottage cheese = yum

Tomato pie?! You piqued my interest!
Stand by, I'll get the recipe from Brandi and post it. It's a Southern delicacy and a great way to enjoy GOOD tomatoes. I think it involves some kind of tomato-onion jam, there's cheese involved, and she has a technique to parcook the tomatoes to remove some of the moisture from them so that the pie isn't a mess, but can't remember anything else (I SUCK at baking and just kind of tune out on the subject).

I just googled the locations, I had no idea they had so many. Even out of pa. I'll have to look around next time I travel near pa.
Hit a local Italian place in Syracuse and got a stromboli. Pepperoni, peppers, onion, ham, black olives. Best 8 bucks I've spent in a while.

@neph93 Stromboli is fairly simple To make. You should give it a go! Assuming you have the ingredients. Can you buy pizza dough at the store or A local pizzeria
