TomatoFest, the organic heirloom tomato seed catalog, has introduced a heart-shaped red tomato named after Anthony Bourdain.

Dubbed the “Anthony Bourdain Tomato,” this cross between a Sungold and an Amish Paste produces a one-pound fruit with bold, complex, fruity-sweet flavors and good acidity. The mid-summer tomato, created by tomato breeder Jeff Dawson, was named by TomatoFest founder and “The Great Tomato Book” author Gary Ibsen as a tribute to the culinary star he never got to meet.

Bourdain died by suicide June 8, 2018, while working in France on an episode of his award-winning series “Parts Unknown.”

“I was able to enjoy a long-term relationship with Julia Child many years prior but no Tony, other than in books and CNN like so many others,” he said, responding to a question by email.

The “Anthony Bourdain Tomato” is one of more than 650 varieties available for the 2019 season in packs of 30 seeds. Find it for $4.50 at tomatofest.com.
