FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Pete Blohme (affectionately known as Panini Pete), owner of Panini Pete’s Café and Bakeshoppe, will be appearing on the Food Network again this Sunday, May 17, at 10 a.m. (CDT).

This time he will be a guest on “Guy’s Big Bite.” Blohme first appeared on the Food Network on Guy Fieri’s show, “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” last year.

Fieri and his crew came to Fairhope and shot footage of Panini Pete’s for the show and the host fell in love with Blohme’s cooking.

“Oh, my gosh, talk about a place you wish you could go to 10 times,” the spike-haired, tattoo-covered Fieri says. “That dude (owner-chef Blohme) was just a riot, just off the hook.”

“Guy’s Big Bite” is shot in a kitchen setting, showing the details of each recipe so folks at home can follow along.

On Sunday’s episode, Blohme and Fieri will be cooking up Panini Pete’s Awesome Turkey Panino, which Guy has coined “The State Bird of Flavortown.” They will also prepare one of Fieri’s crazy dishes.

Welcome Center volunteer Julie Watts says, “It’s amazing how many people come into the Welcome Center downtown and tell us they have seen Panini Pete’s on TV or read about it in Guy’s book and they have come to Fairhope just to try it out.”

While this episode was not shot here in Fairhope, Blohme says, “We must mention Fairhope in the episode over 10 times.”
