Default a little info/opinions on "Top Sirloin" please

I have seeds for Top Sirloin but can only find basic info when I google it. All I know is that it is a late-midseason, medium sized hybrid. I'm hoping I can get a few opinions from those that have grown it.
Thanks!

The last I heard top sirloin came from a cow not a seed if you can grow sirloin steak from seeds I want some.

I've grown Top Sirloin before, the open-pollinated one. A favorite of mine - high production of med-lg to lg lovely red beefsteaks with great flavor, vigorous RL indet, mid-late season. Produces well even in heat and drought. Edit/add - my source was IL LO N.

There was a Ferry Morse hybrid called Top Sirloin. This is not the same tomato, or if it is - someone saved seeds / dehybridized. I don't know much about this Ferry Morse hybrid myself and have never grown it.

Oooooohhh, nice pix ~ and thanks for your opinion/info. The seeds were sent to me as a "bonus" to the other seeds and didn't mention anything about Ferry Morse, but I will try to find out. If I'm lucky, they are the same as what you have. Thanks Suze!!!!

This may seem a little old time but but I like sugar on my tomato.
You simply MUST try it.

I refuse to give my best friends wife tomatoes because she put sugar on them. A neighbor puts mustard on them. Just no accounting for taste.

I suppose a little sugar mayo and pineapple in cottage cheese would be out of the question.
It’s not poor taste; it is called broadening your horizons.
Do you know how much sugar goes into the most popular salad dressings?
I eat sweetbreads too, (you know, from a cow) rolled in flour and pan fried.

And my wife makes faces about kidney pie. There's just no accounting for tastes.
