Duke’s Hot Tomato Summer returns to Richmond – Here’s where to get in on the action
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The lineup for Richmond’s 3rd annual tomato and mayo bonanza is set, and announcements for restaurant specials are rolling out for the now-infamous weeklong event.
Duke’s “Hot Tomato Summer” is relatively new to Richmond. The event gained popularity in 2022, partly due to a viral partnership between the mayonnaise brand and a local tattoo shop that offered free ‘mayo-themed’ tattoos – a move that further solidified Duke’s as a household name among Richmonders. The tattoo partnership is not planned for 2023.
