Two-time world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman will be flipping bison burgers, tossing salads and signing autographs from noon to 2:30 p.m. Friday at the UFood Grill in North Naples.
Foreman agreed to become the spokesperson for the UFood brand. Through his ubiquitous grill, Foreman's name is already associated with healthy eating which complements UFood's concept of "feel great, eat smart."
Foreman is at least the second celebrity to promote the local UFood Grill since it opened last June. Country singer Jo Dee Messina was in Naples last summer for the grand opening of the Naples franchise, owned by Mark Messina, the singer's cousin.
UFood Grill is located in the Piper’s Crossing shopping center, 1201 Pipers Blvd., near the corner of Airport-Pulling and Immokalee roads, across from Sam’s Club.

I have always liked George Foreman.
Not because of his boxing skills.
He has always portrayed himself as a gentleman.
And most all boxers are brain dead and do nothing after their carrer has ended, except beat up women. He broke the mold to go on making some more bucks.
My hat is off to him.

Any boxer who would name all 27 of his children after himself (boys and girls) can't be all bad. Just kidding, my hat is also off to this great man.
