Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum sit down with Peter Ciarrocchi III, third-generation VP of Operations at Chickie's & Pete's. Pete traces the family's rise from a Northeast Philly corner deli to a 21+ location crab house and sports bar, the two-year quest behind the original Crab Fries, the Andy Reid friendship that put them on the map, and the self-funded growth into stadiums, casinos, and the Philadelphia Soul.
