Big Beef is a very good tasting tomato.
It is an excellent tasting hybrid.
Probably my favorite hybrid of all, after Sungold!

You may not necessarily need to add disease tolerance to the dwarves.... some
may already have it! Tasmanian Chocolate, which has gotten rave reviews lately,
is a tomato producing monster. Up to 14 oz tomatoes on a 3' plant that taste
similar to Cherokee Chocolate. It is also showing some disease tolerance to
Cucumber Mosaic Virus. I noticed the foliage showing the symptoms of CMV, but
it seems to have outgrown/tolerated it and kept on going.
