NBC to film in Tiffin for feature story on local restaurant

TIFFIN, OH — A local restaurant is in the spotlight as NBC is planning to visit Tiffin on Thursday to film for an upcoming feature story.

Put-N-Pita, which opened two years ago, shared on social media that an NBC producer has contacted them and is wanting to do a feature on the shop.

“They will be here during Thursday’s lunch rush,” owner Fotis Diamantopoulos said.

“Come on down if you want to get your mug on TV, they want to interview customers and stuff. Going to rep Tiffin the best I can, but I may need a little help,” Diamantopoulos said.

Customers should arrive around lunchtime to catch the NBC crew at the restaurant, but there is no specific time as to when they’ll be there.
