  Here's a pre-season dining tip: Cam Newton is getting into the food business.

The Panthers' quarterback said on an interview with WCCB-TV Friday he's starting a food truck called "Smokn' Aces."

Newton -who is a pescatarian - told anchor Morgan Fogarty it will serve fish and chicken, and park across the street from the Duke Energy building in downtown Charlotte.

Smokn' Aces opens on Sunday, Sept. 18, the day of the Panthers' first home game of the season, against the San Francisco 49ers.

He told Fogarty it will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
