In a recent special episode of the Emmy-winning “Martha Stewart Show,” Martha Stewart experienced the modern side of Mexico City’s thriving culinary scene, artisanal designs and stunning architecture. Scheduled to be aired on the Hallmark Channel in early November, the show puts Mexico City and Mexico real estate front and center.

In the one-hour episode, Stewart hits the road to discover all that North America’s largest city has to offer, with a special emphasis on the food and design of the region. This includes exploring the contemporary side of this ancient capital city, which is home to a variety of centuries-old traditions that have inspired some of today’s top chefs, architects and artisans.

Stewart can be seen enjoying classic street food, visiting the homes of several artists and biking through one of the world’s most impressive urban parks with Marcelo Ebrard, who is the current Mayor of Mexico City. Throughout the episode, the host becomes increasingly enamored of the charms offered by this thriving metropolis, which is world-renowned for being of the best destinations for culinary experts.

Stewart also visits with an impressive array of award-winning local chefs, including Patricia Quintana of Izote, Martha Ortiz of Dulce Patria and Ricardo Munoz Zurita of Azul Condesa. All of these gifted chefs share a common love of the traditional side of Mexico City, which has inspired their work in various ways. In addition, the local food markets offer a colorful and exciting array of everything from meat to fruit, but the design and architecture of Mexico City also takes center stage.

Finally, internationally acclaimed architect Fernando Romero takes Stewart on a tour of the new Soumaya Museum, which opened this year and is a stunning modern twist on ancient principles of design. In addition, famed interior designer and product developer Maggie Calton provides a demonstration of traditional craft techniques that also work to foster sustainable growth of rural Mexican artisans.
