Locally grown tomatoes in the New Orleans area are called "Creole tomatoes," they are currently in season and available, and they're perfectly OK. Always a bit more expensive, and a whole lot tastier, than the tomatoes available at the supermarkets, trucked in from who-knows-where, different points of origin at different times of the year.

Of course, none of the fast-food outlets around here can buy their ingredients locally; their tomatoes come from the international marketplace and therefore the supply is currently suspect and they have to omit sliced tomatoes from all their burgers, etc. ~ even in this area, where a high-quality and uninfected supply is at hand.

I don't suppose that local franchisees will ever have the option to buy local produce; they have to accept what worldwide headquarters provides for them, which in this case is at least temporarily unusable.
