With tomatoes in peak season, now is the perfect time to celebrate the abundant tomato harvest with Jaleo’s Annual La Tomatina Festival at all three Jaleo locations.  From August 6th through August 12th, José Andrés and the culinary team at Jaleo, led by head chef Ramón Martínez, will be hosting a week-long event that celebrates the bounty of delicious tomatoes with a taste of Spain.  Paying tribute to the famous tomato battle that takes place in Buñol, Spain, Jaleo will feature a variety of tomato menu specials as well as the refreshing “1959” cocktail, a delicious drink of tomato water, fresh basil and gin named after the year La Tomatina was officially established.
