A flaming ball of heirloom



Not! Vine restaurant on the wee tip of the Northfork has some commendable dishes (crab cake w/mango salsa and macaroni and cheese with truffle oil and mushrooms) however the Heirloom tomato situation made me sad :( The heirloom mozzarella salad ($13) contained not even a hardy piece of heirloom! In fact the salad consisted of ALL cherry tomatoes with a small piece of a brandywine. I asked the waitress just to make sure she was aware of the issue and I concluded that she had no idea of what an heirloom could be. Us ladies did not let the issue at hand get us down...We topped our night off with some ice cream at the infamous Nina's and had a very memorable experience star gazing in the grass. I have posted some pictures so everybody can familiarize themselves with these beautiful and precious fruits!

come over! i have plenty of heirlooms from my parents garden and i am happy to share the tomato wealth. you bring the mozz? we make
heirloom mozz party. although lately i have been doing this:

slice heirlooms real thick, like maybe 4 slices total per giant tomato
chop red onion finer than fine, like the tiniest most delicate pieces
of onion
put one slice of tomato, then a bunch of onion chunks on top, then some crumbled goat cheese, s & p, then another tomato slice on top, then the onion, goat cheese, etc, and stack it way high. drizzle lite
balsamic vinegarette on top. eat and enjoy. its delicious.
