Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Here’s the lowdown from Joe Johnston, owner of Joe’s Farm Grill, which will be featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives next Monday night (May 19):
We were contacted last Fall about being a part of “Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives” hosted by popular chef, Guy Fieri. In mid-December, Guy and the crew came to our restaurant and shot some 18 hours of footage, which included shots of the food, farming, cooking, and our guests. That footage has now been edited into a 6 to 8 minute segment (three restaurants are highlighted in each show) of a show entitled “Real Deal Fast Food”. The premise of this episode is that there are some places that serve what is traditionally considered “fast food”, but prepared with great care, creativity and superior quality. We are certainly honored to be considered one of those places.
I say, program your DVR whether you’ll be able to watch it or not — it’s fun to show this kind of stuff to out-of-town visitors, then take them there to eat 🙂 Here are the scheduled re-runs of this episode: May 20 (evening), May 25 (afternoon and evening), May 26 (evening), June 2 (afternoon), and June 13 (evening).
