While on a fall adventure trip to Iceland, Arlingtonians Jeanne and Gary LaBella stumbled onto an accomplished Icelander chef with a local connection. Jon K.B.Sigfusson is master chef for Fridheimar in Iceland's countryside and is an early-'70s graduate of Washington-Lee High School. He told the LaBellas that his cooking inspiration "came from his W-L home economics class taught by Mrs. Anderson." Fridheimar is a greenhouse that grows tomatoes under artificial lighting for Iceland, even during the country's darkest hours, and Sigfusson prepares many tomato-inspired products sold through its "Pantry." On the day the LaBellas visited, he made a tomato-mango gazpacho.
