Panini Pete's

Forget "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!" Here's the real dirt from Chef Panini Pete himself. He confesses his secret plane-door-tapping ritual to Quick-Fire Quips host Baillee Majors. Plus, he's not afraid to admit that a little bit of Southern vernacular has rubbed off on him. Peek into the mind of a culinary star who's "fixin' to" prove Alabama is more than just grits and gumbo.
