SEATTLE, WA - August 9, 2011 - In celebration of Eastern Washington heirloom tomatoes, Cedarbrook Lodge will host the second annual TomatoFare West, featuring cuisine from local chefs, sips from local wineries and breweries, and live musical entertainment on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 1 to 5 p.m.

TomatoFare is a one-day festival showcasing the abundant harvest of heirloom tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste culinary creations from local chefs including Mark Bodinet of Copperleaf Restaurant in Seattle, Johnathan Sundstrom of Lark in Seattle, Bobby Moore of Barking Frog in Woodinville, Wash., and Nick Yanes of H5O bistro & bar in Portland, Ore., among others.

“The popularity of heirloom tomatoes with chefs and consumers has increased dramatically in the last couple of years,” said Roy Breiman, culinary director of Cedarbrook Lodge. “We received great feedback from those who attended last year's TomatoFare West and this year's event is going to be even better.”

In addition to the heirloom tomato-inspired dishes from the chefs, sample tastings from local wineries and microbreweries will be available for guests to enjoy while listening to the live musical entertainment.

Advance tickets are available for $25 online at Brown Paper Tickets or at the door on the day of the event for $35 cash only.
