If Pete Ciarrocchi is strutting a little bit more, that's because Chickie's & Pete's, his crab house-slash-sports-bar chain, was named the best sports bar in North America in an ESPN Mobile poll.

So proud, he issued a press release: "To see the top name in sports, ESPN, and their viewers agree, is humbling. And I’m a tough guy to humble!"

Three more locations are on tap for the fourth quarter of 2011: Audubon, Montgomery County; Warrington, Bucks County; and Terminal D in the Philadelphia International Airport.
