Charlotte, North Carolina, Chef Writes a Love Letter to Tomatoes in the Form of Pie - Eater Carolinas
"Every season, Dissen buys tomatoes from Piedmont farms like Newtown Farm in Waxhaw, Harmony Ridge Farm in Tobaccoville, and Fair Share Farms in Pfafftown, both outside Winston-Salem. Because of his purchasing power between his two restaurants in Asheville and Charlotte, many farms now deliver to him directly. And while he, like many farm-to-table chefs of his sort, would love to spend each Saturday putzing around the local farmers market, Dissen is a working chef with his eyes on everything that carries his name." - Ben Jarrell
