Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight，my happiness deepened when I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty，a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton，where，luckily for me，I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu，I knew Id be ordering every tomato on it.()1.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?AExciting.
