It's officially tomato season. Bob Zeni, affectionately known as the "Tomato Man," is bringing back his popular pop-up tomato stand to the North Side this weekend.
LA GRANGE, Ill. - A local vegetable gardener found that if he grows it, they will come.
He’s affectionately known as "The Tomato Man" — and he’s pumping out even more product this year.

Bob Zeni says once you take a bite of a homegrown heirloom tomato, you’ll never look back. He’s doubled production this year, growing 4,000 plants in his La Grange yard, in a greenhouse.
Now, he’s doing pop-up pick-ups at locations around Chicago.
This year, there’s something really unique! A La Grange resident gave him seeds he had kept from a village in Italy from his grandfather. Now, Zeni is the only person who sells those tomatoes in the United States.
