Fehrenbacher's owner: Gainesville "business booming" since appearance on popular food show
One of the Flavortown mayor's stops in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives was Fehrenbacher's Meats & Eats on the episode "African, Sicilian and Sausage" that aired on March 14.
The business has been booming since its appearance and Fieri warned him of a Flavortown wave. A day after the episode premiered, an out-of-town couple drove an hour and a half to eat his food, said Adam Fehrenbacher, owner of the eatery located in the 4th Ave Food Park in the Porters neighborhood.
"This has had a positive impact and that kind of publicity for a small business is fantastic and to have that kind of exposure is great," Fehrenbacher said.

Fieri was genuine and offered advice on how to grow an up-and-coming small business, Fehrenbacher said
The next Gainesville eateries featured in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' latest season include Bingo Deli & Pub, Germain's Chicken Sandwiches, Humble Wood Fire Bagel Shop, The Paper Bag Deli and Uppercrust Bakery.
The appearance of the business on the popular show was sparked when Fehrenbacher received and email one afternoon from Citizen Productions that led to a producer conducting a four-hour interview with Fehrenbacher about the meat market and deli.
"They interviewed several places around town and picked the best businesses that best fit their show with the most marketability and what's exciting," Fehrenbacher said. "I got an email six weeks later that said hey, welcome to Triple D family!"
How the show found out about his business is still a mystery to him, but he is delighted they chose to feature his business, Fehrenbacher said. He added the "showrunners" asked him for six menu items in which Fieri ultimately selected two items to feature - "The Intimidator", a sausage sandwich with hot pepper relish, and a weekly special sandwich called the "Lamb Mediterranean", a merguez with barley tabouleh, chickpeas, buttermilk dressing, and red cabbage.
"We make all of our sausages here by hand in house, all original, proprietary recipes," Fehrenbacher said. "We went through the process of making the sausages, the hot pepper relish, the hot sauce and assembling the dish."

Prince Harry issues scathing response after Sentebale probe finds no evidence of ‘bullying, harassment' claims
Prince Harry has broken his silence. The Duke of Sussex, 40, issued a scathing response after the Charity Commission for England and Wales announced Tuesday that it discovered no evidence of 'widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir' at the Sentebale charity founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. 10 Prince Harry at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8, 2024, in London, England.

Getty Images for Sentebale Although the Commission also announced that it found no 'overreach' by Harry or the African charity's current chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, it criticized both parties for allowing the dispute 'to play out publicly.' The Commission pointed to poor internal governance at Sentebale and claimed that both Prince Harry and Chandauka's 'failure to resolve disputes internally severely impacted the charity's reputation and risked undermining public trust in charities more generally.' A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said that it wasn't surprising the Commission found no evidence of wrongdoing. 10 Prince Harry at the Royal Courts of Justice on April 9, 2025, in London, England. Getty Images 'Unsurprisingly, the Commission makes no findings of wrongdoing in relation to Sentebale's Co-Founder and former Patron, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex,' his rep began in a statement, per People. 'They also found no evidence of widespread bullying, harassment or misogyny and misogynoir at the charity, as falsely claimed by the current Chair.' 'Despite all that, their report falls troublingly short in many regards, primarily the fact that the consequences of the current Chair's actions will not be borne by her — but by the children who rely on Sentebale's support,' they added. Meanwhile, an insider close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that neither Prince Harry nor Prince Seeiso can envision a return to Sentebale if Chandauka remains the charity's chair. 10 Prince Harry co-founded the youth-focused charity organization in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. Getty Images for Sentebale Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso both resigned as patrons of Sentebale in March following Chandauka's shocking claims. 'Both Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso are devastated by what has effectively been a hostile takeover by Sophie Chandauka,' the source said. 'This was Prince Seeiso and Prince Harry's life work,' the insider continued. 'They established it 19 years ago and in that time put in blood, sweat and tears and their own money into building this charity up to what it was: a multi-million pound charity that delivered nothing but good for the beneficiary community that is supported in Lesotho and Botswana.' 10 Dr. Sophie Chandauka and Prince Harry with guests during a Sentebale reception and panel discussion at the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. Getty Images for Sentebale As for Chandauka, she thanked the Commission and claimed that its findings 'confirmed' her allegations. 'I appreciate the Charity Commission for its conclusions, which confirm the governance concerns I raised privately in February 2025,' Chandauka said in a statement. 'The experience was intense, and it became a test of our strategic clarity and operational resilience.' 'I thank every dedicated colleague and the courageous new Board members who have stayed focused on the mission in the face of unprecedented media glare,' she continued. 'The unexpected adverse media campaign that was launched by those who resigned on 24 March 2025 has caused incalculable damage and offers a glimpse of the unacceptable behaviors displayed in private.' 10 The Duke of Sussex poses for a photo with members of the community during a visit to Matlameng â Ha Mahlehle on October 2, 2024, in Leribe, Lesotho.

The Sentebale scandal kicked off in March when Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso, who co-founded the charity in 2006 to help AIDS patients in Africa, announced that they were stepping down from their roles as patrons and trustees due to infighting within the organization. Sentebale's other board of trustee members resigned shortly after, and when Chandauka was asked to step down, she sued to remain in her role as chair. 10 Prince Harry at a special Sentebale event to visit the Pointmain Health Facility on October 2, 2024.

'I said no, we're not setting a precedent by which we become an extension of the Sussex PR machine,' Chandauka told the Financial Times in an interview on March 29. The Charity Commission then announced on April 3 that it was launching an investigation 'to examine concerns raised' about Sentebale by Chandauka. 10 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during the Royal Salute Polo Challenge benefitting Sentebale at Grand Champions Polo Club on April 12, 2024, in Wellington, Florida.

'How that happens, he will keep his options open,' the source said. 'Whether that means raising money for pre-existing charities that are doing good work in those countries or establishing something independent and new.' 'I'm positive that Prince Harry would want to work with Prince Seeiso again and deliver for Lesotho,' they added.

"Competing head-to-head, they show off their kitchen skills in hopes of being crowned Mister or Miss Boot Camp. Watch a new episode of #WorstCooks TONIGHT at 9|8c!"
