Above is the Hot Tomato, a well-known eatery throughout most of the 2000s located at 561 Fischer Boulevard in Toms River, New Jersey. Adding a little fun and flair, it featured a tomato painted on the side! At some point in the mid to late 2010s, it closed and was replaced by
La Vita E Bella, below.
