"“I wait every year for the real Jersey tomatoes. You can't get that country flavor in the city!” They couldn't get it here, either: These were New Mexican beefsteaks." I used to work on a tomato farm (Florida) and I live in New Mexico. I've been all over the state. They grow lots of chilies here. And some corn, onions melons. They don't grow tomatoes on any scale that I've ever seen in New Mexico. It was an entertaining article but I think some "artistic license" was taken.
