I grew Big Beef for at least 15 seasons, it was always just tolerable taste wise, but produced well, and the tomatoes were pretty. Last year I tried an OP Big Beef, it was just ok too. IN my area people favor the taste of Early Girl for red hybrids. For red heirlooms, Chapman, NAR, Brandywine OTV, Magnum, and Milka's Red Bulgarian, blow it away it tastewise, Cuoastralee, (RL) brandywine are still better too. Forgot Delicious, much funner to grow, and the taste is great.
