Anthony Bourdain (1956-2018), was an American celebrity chef, author, and television personality who explored the cuisines, culture, joys and essentials of human existence around the world. He loved food and cooking as a most enjoyable way of gathering people together to celebrate our humanity.
Gary Ibsen wanted to pay tribute to Anthony Bourdain's life by honoring his legacy with "Anthony's Passionate Heart"', a tomato heretofore unknown, that he has identified as particularly outstanding for its excellent flavors and beautiful, heart-shaped appearance.
He found it suitable that "the world's most popular fruit," a tomato, would carry Tony's name through future generations in a way that would enrich the lives of many.
This tomato was created by respected tomato breeder, Jeff Dawson, from a crossing between "Sungold" and "Amish Paste." This cross yielded the "Amish Red" which over time threw off a slicer, "Red Buddha," and this red oxheart. After seven years of stabilization it has consistently produced 1 lb. tomatoes with bold, fruity-sweet flavors and sufficient acidity for perfect balance.
