What in the world is a Fattoria? Trust us, you won’t have any more questions after you visit North Fattoria Italiana, the location of this week’s show! This week’s celebrity co-host was Jim Strong, fellow foodie and real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Jim spoke with as much enthusiam about the current real estate market as he did about his own unique approach to the culinary arts. Matt and Jim were joined by Shawn Campbell of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, who had all the delicious details on the upcoming Moveable Musical Feast. Regan Jasper of Fox Restaurant Concepts then proudly unveiled the new ‘farmhouse’ concept at North, and spoke with great passion about how freshness makes a difference. Our featured guest was Chef Carlos Calderon of North, who took us on a culinary journey through an authentic Italian farm, where seriously good food and craft cocktails reign. We feasted on housemade gnocchi with short rib, artisan pizzas (we recommmend ‘the pig’), egg and nueske’s bacon sandwich on a beautiful brioche bun, Gigli pesto pasta, and something truly magnificent called the Nono (to which we say, YesYes!). Hungry yet?
