Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Mark your calendars now for Wednesday, March 2 at 6 p.m. because that's when you'll be able to see two Valley spots on the Cooking Channel's Extra Virgin. The series follows actress Debi Mazar and her husband, Gabriele Corcos, who will explore the Grand Canyon and two metro Phoenix destinations in the show's Arizona episode.
Mazar, who's probably best known for her debut role in Goodfellas (she also played Shauna on HBO's Entourage), and her husband visit both Liberty Market and The Farm at Agritopia in Gilbert during the show. The episode was filmed in July 2015, when the couple came to harvest vegetables and play with the adorable, curly-haired Mangelitsa pigs at the farm and cook with chef David Traina at Liberty Market.
This isn't the first time one of restaurateur Joe Johnston's eateries has earned a spot on TV. In 2011, Johnston's Joe's Farm Grill got a visit from Guy Fieri's Food Network show, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.
