It’s September, and I can finally say it: summer has arrived. For me at least.

I’m not talking about the heat. That’s come and is hopefully going away soon. I’m talking about tomatoes, peaches, corn, and more… from south Georgia. Nothing tastes like summer to me like the produce I grew up eating during the summers down at my family’s house in Sea Island, Georgia. The peaches up north just aren’t as sweet, the tomatoes not as juicy. And now I am finally down south for a few days, eating the things that make me happiest. So what makes the perfect BLT? A Georgia tomato, on toasted bread with Hellmann’s mayo.
