Putting Chaps Pit Beef on the Map<\/h2>\n Looking back, Creager said that The Wire really gave them recognition they needed and helped them attract a lot of new Baltimore City customers from it, especially as the show grew in popularity.<\/p>\n
And then when Guy Fieri took notice and featured Chaps on his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, more and more media requests started rolling in. Creager said that they even went out to California to cook for Fieri\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wire put us on the map and Guy Fieri got us across the world,\u201d she said. \u201cBusiness went up 30% and we have been getting spikes for the last 9 years every time one of the shows would air.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cThe Wire gave us the exposure we needed and Fieri validated how great our food was.\u201d<\/p>\n
Creager explained that while they also got attention from print and TV media with mentions in The New York Times, The Huffington Post and The Washington Post, that it was the Food Network and Travel Channel rock stars that really had the biggest impact. From their little spot in Baltimore they would get calls from Russia and Ireland and the Prince of Jordan even would send a courier for food every time he was in Washington D.C. And now Chaps Pit Beef is one of the top franchises out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout all this publicity, I don\u2019t know if we would have been able to franchise,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople would drive an hour for a Chaps Pit Beef sandwich and more people began asking to see a Chaps in their hometowns.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want something different from a burger in their area. Grilled sandwiches are our calling card and it is a healthier option too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
