Red Tomatoes: Don't Hate Them Because They’re Beautiful

That's right. The Green Zebra was ahead of its time.

Uh-huh.

You may see Frank Stella in the skin of a Green Zebra, and that's just fine, but here's how I can tell if I like something and am not just over-thinking a dish: do I have seconds. When I'm writing about food, especially if I'm reviewing a place, I just eat, and the platters I go for more than once are the ones I like. Now, if I philosophize about the food, I can convince myself that I like or dislike almost anything, but what matters is if I go for it again. I've noticed, when it's lunchtime at my house, and I'm making a tomato salad, I gravitate toward the red tomatoes. That must mean I like them. Having established that, I figure out why.
