Operation Food Search's Tomato Explosion Underway in St. Louis

St. Louis area Operation Food Search to benefit from July restaurant campaign. Check out Ladue and Frontenac participating restaurants.

This article was written and created by Maggie Rotermund.

Operation Food Search, FEAST Magazine and local restaurants are partnering for a delicious restaurant campaign throughout the entire month of July. 

Participating restaurants have each created a special tomato-themed dish to feature on their menu, and each time the dish is sold during this month-long campaign, Operation Food Search will receive a share of the proceeds to help feed the area hungry.
