    This is a new hybrid from Burpee, which claims the fruit can reach 3 lbs. I haven't had one that heavy yet, but they are BIG and it is a very good tasting, slightly acidic, tomato. It's a keeper in our line up.

    Although none of my tomatoes reached the three pounds Burpee boasted about, this tomato was extremely productive, with a slightly acidic taste that made it a new favorite. We easily picked 40 lbs. or more of fruit from each plant. It is a very meaty tomato, which makes it perfect for slicing.

    Steakhouse Hybrid is a new large beefsteak type from Burpee. They claim large fruits, up to 3 pounds. Mine were not really any great size to brag about, only average for a beefsteak type. However, it did set a goodly amount of fruit with a nice beefsteak-type flavor, so I have no complaints about Steakhouse Hybrid.
