Even for my book, it was hard to make appearances. They're so busy in the kitchen and they still maintain that face. To maintain and to stay in that public eye would be difficult. Rock star farmers? I don't know if I would be. What are your thoughts on the idea of Celebrity Farmers? Is there a chance for Top Farmer? I don't know. I wanted to be the next James Joyce and I'm Johnny Tomato Seed. Even my fiction writing is about farming. But you know, I actually would like to take my mind off farming. I think for the next one, I'll try to write about some farms other than mine and the whole future of farming in the United States. My last book was all about tomatoes and came out in the height of the season in July. It works out well because come spring I'm burned out with the writing. When the season is finally over, then what? I'd like to start writing. Sometimes chefs will stop writing heirloom tomatoes into their menus on October 1st, and I have to say "No, no! We'll have them all month." So, don't take them off the menu just yet? No. Maybe this weekend we'll have a frost but I expect we'll be eating great tomatoes through the end of October.
I was going to say, isn't tomato season over? We had a light frost, but really this is perfect Indian Summer. It's getting into mid-October, but he did really well. What have you been up to for the festival? Well I'm still in the middle of harvest season, so I just had time for this Heirloom Tomato dinner at Scarpetta with Scott Conant. We now welcome Tim Stark, author, proprietor of Eckerton Hill Farm, and NYC's reining authority on the subject of heirloom tomatoes: Today we have some remainders from the Eater Lounge.
As the peeps pass through, we chatted them up and spit out the dialogue here in this business. Throughout the Food & Wine Festival this weekend Eater welcomed bloggers, journalists and food world personalities to our lounge at MILK Studios.
