After a five-year run, Duke’s Mayo called off its beloved Hot Tomato Summer campaign.

The participatory contest encouraged small businesses in select cities to create specialty tomato + mayonnaise dishes for a chance to be crowned a Golden Tomato Winner. Take a look back at last year's Richmond run.

As many of you probably know, Virginians don't play about tomato season. While Duke’s has bid adieu to the tradition, some Richmond businesses aren’t ready to let go. Here are a few spots reinventing the wheel so you can still get your tom-ayo fix.

Hotter Tomato Summer

The Smoky Mug | Brookland Park | Through Saturday, Aug. 1

This Brookland Park cafe and Tex-Mex spot debuted a limited menu featuring one specialty item in each of the following categories: breakfast, barbecue, pastry, and bar.

Spotlight: Pair your morning coffee with a Tomato Galette, featuring a savory pie crust filled with caramelized onions and baked-in tomatoes.

Hot Tomato Supper (HTS)

Lunch and Supper | Scott's Addition | Through Sunday, Aug. 2

Try the HTS BLT for a curated bite of herbed goat cheese spread, candied bacon, lettuce, mayo and heirloom tomatoes. The Vine Ripe cocktail channels a super-tomato Bloody Mary with peppercorn-infused Cirrus vodka.

Hanover Tomato Menu

Mosaic | West End | Through Friday, July 31

Guests can taste-test three menu specials highlighting regional Hanover tomatoes.

Tomato Tomfoolery Day
