Think Duke’s Mayonnaise and summer-ripe tomatoes go together like peanut butter and jelly? Then grab your calendars and add Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer, returning to Greenville Thursday, July 18-Sunday, July 28.
What is Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer?
This annual event is a weeklong celebration that showcases local restaurants’ creative dishes featuring, you guessed it, fresh tomatoes and Duke’s Mayonnaise.
Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer got its start in Richmond, VA three years ago (hey, RICtoday), and was hosted in Greenville — aka the birthplace of that spreadable goodness — for the first time last July. Duke’s partnered with 13 local restaurants, including Northgate Soda Shop and The Bohemian Cafe, which featured specialty dishes like a BLT and tomato pie.
This July, Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer will take over four cities: Richmond, Greenville, Charlotte, and Charleston.
