A Foodie’s Take on the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival

Park Tavern

This past Sunday, I joined fellow tomato lovers in attendance at the ninth annual Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival (AKTF) at Park Tavern in Piedmont Park. The festival benefitted Georgia Organics, a non-profit that helps farmers and consumers connect.  

As a foodie, these festivals are my favorite. Seeing chefs put their own spin on a simple ingredient is so inspiring!

Some of the dishes that stood out to me were:

  • Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream + Little Tart Bake Shop: Green tomato brambleberry crisp tart from paired with peach lassi buttermilk frozen yogurt
  • Bar Margot: Watermelon, heirloom tomato and cucumber salad with chorizo
  • Gunshow: Boozy freeze pops – I chose the yellow tomato flavor
  • King + Duke: Grilled oyster with spicy tomato conserva and tomato breadcrumbs
  • JCT Kitchen: Tomato, spicy summer melon and scallops, which was served in a beautiful shell 

Don’t these dishes sound good?! I’ve included pictures of each below.

Did you attend AKTF? If so, what was your favorite dish that you tried? I would love to hear!
