Check, Please! Arizona 

Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 at 7 p.m.

In 2011, we asked you to join us on a culinary adventure. Since then, you’ve made it your show. Welcome to the tenth season of “Check, Please! Arizona”!

From 2011 to 2018, “Check, Please! Arizona” featured close to 300 restaurants around the Valley and across Arizona, earning four regional Emmy Awards. In every episode, the show featured three guests who dined at and then reviewed three local restaurants they recommended to each other. Chef Mark Tarbell moderated these lively roundtable discussions, adding his own expertise as a restaurateur. After a four-year hiatus, the show returned in 2022 and is now about to launch its tenth season!

Every Thursday at 7 p.m., join Mark and three guests – members of our community who have volunteered to share their favorite restaurants – as they review and recommend some of their favorite independent Arizona restaurants. Want to revisit past episodes? Find “Check, Please! Arizona” online or on the PBS app.
