Dom Deluise was in town one time and he had heard so much about blackened redfish he wanted to give it a try. He decided to prank Chef Paul by showing up dressed just like PP. His plan was to call out the chef as being an imposter.
Chef Paul got wind of the visit and invited TV crews to be present. Wish I could see that tape. I bet it was a riot.
Frank Brigtsen wrote that story up on Facebook when PP passed away. He was working there at the time. He tells it differently. He says PP got Dom to come to restaurant, dress up like PP and sit at the back table in the restaurant where PP would sit each day. Dom did it and signed cookbooks all day long in addition to talking to customers who came back there. No one ever knew he wasn't PP.
Maybe there was more than one occasion. Either way, either story is good.

In his book, DD definitely makes it sound like it was his idea. The truth is probably a mix of the 2 stories. But yes, great story either way.
