Walmart Inc. is trying to establish itself as a go-to place for fresh produce and to help that effort the mega-retailer has teamed-up with A-list chefs, including Phoenix’s Justin Beckett.

Since Sept. 11 and continuing through Sept. 20, Beckett will feature a menu item at one of his restaurants, Beckett’s Table, made entirely with produce he picked up at a Walmart store in the Valley.
