Dan Pashman expresses a preference for cherry tomatoes over grape tomatoes due to their juicier texture. He admits he might be biased against grape tomatoes but is open to having his mind changed.
“A grape tomato to me is always very hard.”
“To me, the cherry tomato, you bite into it, it pops. You get that rush of sweet, tart, juiciness in your mouth.”
“So when we taste test this thing, are you just going to like crap all over this tomato because you inherently don't like grape tomatoes?”
