That's a saying from an old Dingbat.

Nope... like cheese, for best flavor eat tomatoes at room temperature.
You can refrigerate those from the stupidmarket as they were picked
green and gassed so they will never have tomato flavor, but vine
ripened should never be refrigerated or they'll taste like
stupidmarket/TIAD tomatoes. I place vine ripened from my garden into
a chilled bowl of greens and other chilled produce plus I add cold
dressing so the tomatoes will become slightly chilled too. But when I
eat my vine ripened plain or with cheese, saw-seege, on bread, etc. I
eat all those at room temperature. A good dago hero should be enjoyed
at room temperature, not cold... dago red is best at room temperature
too. I store cheese and cold cuts in the fridge but I eat them at
room temperature... pepperoni, genoa salami, sopressata eaten cold
from the fridge is pure TIAD. Right now I have a couple dozen dropped
greenie tomatoes ripening on my kitchen counter, they will never go in
my fridge.

Anyway I've been busy cooking all day, I harvested two of my cabbages
so decided to do fried cabbage and egg noodles, I filled am 8 quart
pot. It was more than could be eaten in a couple days so I froze half
in pint containers... I never froze this before, I hope freezing won't
ruin it. I also turned six matronly Double D skinless boneless
chicken breasts into 18 teenager B cup cutlets, seasoned and fried
them, 3 1/2 pounds of chicken won't need to be frozen, they'll go
quick with cats helping. Sorry, no pics yet.
