You can make sauces, salsas, jams, preserves, relish, salads and accompaniments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Where do our Anthology tomatoes come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TA: Our tomatoes come from the Mercado Farmers Market in Little Italy &#8211; we love to support local farmers whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Since Anthology does follow a farm to table philosophy, is there a particular farmer that we typically get our tomatoes from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TA: We use several different local farmers depending on who has the best, juicy, plump, ripe tomatoes that week.  If you\u2019re looking for that same freshness check out your local farmers market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. How are you using tomatoes for Anthology\u2019s summer menu?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TA: I am using tomatoes on 3 different dishes this summer: a tomato butter with sea bass, a roasted chili and tomato relish with arctic char, and a tomato salad with pickled onions, cucumbers and Burrata cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What is your favorite way to prepare tomatoes for yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TA: My favorite way to eat a tomato is with cracked black pepper, a sprinkle of sea salt, splash of balsamic and some fresh basil sitting on my patio enjoying a summer day with my pup.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3535\" style=\"width: 120px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthologysd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/allison-leaves-checkers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3535\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anthologysd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/allison-leaves-checkers.jpg\" alt=\"Anthology Chef Todd Allison\" title=\"Anthology Chef Todd Allison\" width=\"110\" height=\"127\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3535\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anthology Chef Todd Allison<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>About Todd Allison:<\/h2>\n<p><em>When Anthology chef Todd Allison is not composing culinary masterpieces, this Coronado native loves playing the piano, drums and guitar.
