I grew the whole Chef\'s Choice series this year and everything I read suggested that Orange was the best. For me it was not the best of the series. It was still a good tomato, and is actually loading up even more now at the end of the season. I still plan on growing again next season and will see if it can live up to the excellent performance of most of the others.
