Announcing My Candidacy
I’ve been a passionate lover of ketchup and other tomato products since I was a kid. Growing up downwind from Gilroy, the garlic capitol of the world, meant waking up every day to the smell of tomato soup. It was heavenly. And now, after decades of being an avid eater (and sometimes tosser) of tomatoes, it is with great humility and determination that I announce my candidacy for King. Of the East Nashville Tomato Fest ’09. I intend to usher in an era of benevolence and bountiful harvests, so bountiful in fact, that a refrain will be heard from Shelby Bottoms to Bongo Java – Yes, We can. We can because we have to.
