Anthony Bourdain (1956-2018), was an American celebrity chef, author, and television personality who explored the cuisines, culture, joys and essentials of human existence around the world. He was an icon to many who love food and cooking as a most enjoyable way of gathering people together to celebrate our humanity.
This tomato has an excellent flavor and a beautiful heart shape. It was created by respected tomato breeder, Jeff Dawson, from a crossing between ‘Sungold’ and ‘Amish Paste.’ This cross yielded the ‘Amish Red’ which over time threw off a slicer, ‘Red Buddha,’ and this red oxheart. After seven years of stabilization, it has consistently produced 1 lb. tomatoes with bold, fruity-sweet flavors and sufficient acidity for perfect balance. RARE.
