Many people have never enjoyed a tomato sandwich from the South. There is no better place to get a big juicy ripe tomato in the right season than from Isom's Peach Stand. Isom's is located on US Highway 72 on the east side of Athens. The fourth generation now operates the business that was opened in 1957. Whether it is peaches, watermelons, other fruits or vegetables, Isom's is the place. Now, back to the tomato sandwich: Slice up a tomato (make sure that each slice is a minimum of half inch). Spread an ample supply of mayonnaise on two slices of bread. Lay the biggest slice of tomato on one piece of the bread and add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the tomato slice with the other piece of bread. You are now ready to enjoy a Southern summertime favorite.
