From the editor
Hey, Greenville. You’ll be seeing my face while Danielle is out enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Lately, I’ve been working to perfect my own summery tomato sandwich (rosemary sourdough + tomatoes are a fantastic combo, btw), but I have a hunch the bites at Greenville’s taste-off will be better than mine.
