The 89th Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club introduced a new menu item, the Savory Tomato Pie, to their iconic cheap concession lineup. Despite concerns that the announcement on April 1st was an April Fools’ Day joke, the tomato pie was very real and became available to patrons at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur the week before the tournament.
Priced at $3.00, the tomato pie joins other popular items like egg salad and pimiento cheese sandwiches. Served as a hand pie, the savory pastry is filled with cherry tomatoes, cheesy tomato sauce, and fresh herbs, delivering a rich and flavorful taste that impressed many attendees.
While traditional tomato pies may be lacking in flavor and texture, the Masters’ version stood out with its perfect cheese-to-tomato ratio and flaky pastry. As a born-and-raised Southerner, the reviewer found the tomato pie to be a delightful twist on a classic Southern recipe.
With its affordable price and delicious taste, the Savory Tomato Pie quickly became a hit among spectators at the Masters Tournament. Despite being a departure from traditional tomato pies, many attendees, including the reviewer, praised it as a must-try Southern tradition at the prestigious golf event. If you have the opportunity to attend the Masters, don’t miss out on this unique and delicious menu item.
