A thick slice of heirloom tomato on a speckled ceramic plate, dressed with olive oil, basil, oregano and chive blossoms.
A cantaloupe cut open with one wedge laid beside it on a pale green plate, on dark wood, lit from one side.
An ear of sweet corn charred over fire, its husk blackened and splayed back, on a speckled plate on a wooden table.
A pepperoni pizza with a blistered, charred crust carried out on a silver tray.
A table covered with red and green heirloom tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, hot peppers and husks, beside a notepad.
“Local Effort is truly top tier.”
