" Check, Please! Arizona" is an award-winning program for KAET Channel 8, which has produced it since 2011.

It features three panelists, all regular people, from the Valley talking about some of their favorite eating spots and includes visuals of food that are bound to make you hungry.

As production begins for the program’s seventh season, a new host — successful Valley chef and restaurateur Mark Tarbell — takes over for host Robert McGrath, another successful Valley chef.

Tarbell talked about his expectations.
