Dukes Mayo!! The only one without added sugar
To me, the best tomatoes are grown near the seaside due to less stress environment, kiss from the salt spray/sun, and less disease.
Life before Covid-19…
Food looks phenomenal.
John T with a nice cameo!
This HAS to be a parody. Nobody making this could have been serious or kept a straight face while standing behind the camera.
I have missed seeing one of my favorite chefs & the cooking show. Delicious recipes and expert techniques.
Did I hear "smoked corn". ?
Awesome video! This hit a special place in my heart. My father was a Special Forces medic. He served in Korea and Viet Nam. When he retired in North Carolina he opened a nursery and garden center. West of Asheville. I was in college and majoring in Economics. I helped in trying to make to make the business profitable. He told me he was joining the rare seed society. The local chapter specialized in rare heirloom tomatoes. This was the late '70s early "80s. He told me he was devoting two 40' tables to propagating these tomatoes. I hit the ceiling . This would cut into our profits severely . I remember he smiled at me and said " money isn't everything son. " One of my fondest memories of these guys in their red camel overalls, is that that were looking at a thimble of seeds and said ' as far as we know this is all that is left." . Very solemn. They contributed to these heirloom tomatoes being available today. My favorite ? The Cherokee Purple . The perfect tomato. On a biscuit with butter. Dukes is good too. Great job Vivian ! Best!
I totally understand the first tomato thing ❤

Vivian is one of my favorite chefs. Happy to see more videos from her. Keep up the awesome work. And, take care. 🥰
If you just stick to real food from farmers, rather than store bought food, it going to be good as it is. Keep it simple.
