BOFFO presents Tomato Bar by Hugh Hayden. Culinary installations have long been a part of Hugh Hayden's artistic practice. Food plays an important role in the social fabric of Fire Island. Inspired by a well known scene from I Love Lucy.
Lucy (Lucille Ball) gets knee-deep in grapes as she tests the patience of a professional grape stomper at one of Italy’s finest vineyards in the I Love Lucy episode “Lucy’s Italian Movie,” 1956. For Tomato Bar, Ryan McNamara & Hardy activate a custom bar designed and built by Hugh Hayden. Instead of grapes, tomatoes are stomped to batch fresh bloody mary’s while enjoying bay views.
