<p>Want to see Steve Buscemi go to great lengths to raise celery in the fresh produce ranks or tear into a stalk of the well-known veg? He may be a long way from Nucky Thompson and HBO’s Emmy Award-winning series Boardwalk Empire, but to us, he seems right at home in his role as Marty, a down-on-his luck celery salesman looking to turn things around.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img class="small-cropped-image" src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacySmallCroppedImages/portlandia_feb_2014_body_01.jpg" alt="022414" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The episode, airing February 27th, features Buscemi who must fight for his job at Produce Sales Headquarters, a black ops organization responsible for making vegetables trendy, according to Eater.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img class="small-cropped-image" src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacySmallCroppedImages/portlandia_feb_2014_body_02.jpg" alt="022414" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Heirloom tomatoes?

To which Armisen responded, “That would be a dream come true…It really would. Because it’s one thing to have any kind of an effect on entertainment, but to have an effect on menus and food?”</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>We agree!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://eater.com/archives/2014/02/20/watch-portlandias-the-celery-incident.php" target="_new">Eater</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/19/portlandia-celery-incident-video" target="_new">Entertainment Weekly</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
