The Last Days Of Summer

Preface: I wish I had known about this earlier in the year but since most of us are from warm weather climates, it's still appropriate.

The internet is just so full it's impossible to know whats going on all the time and I admit to being late to discover this site. Former Miami Dolphins All-Pro Linebacker, John Offerdahl is enjoying a post-football career in front of the grill and has his own website, The Gridiron Griller, where he offers recipes, videos, interviews, etc. He even offers his grilling services to the public. Imagine having Offerdahl at your Sunday tailgating!

He can also be followed on Twitter, where you can read about stuff like his recent knee injury: "Did u hear? My knee buckled last Monday in workouts & my old (& still current) Dolphins team doctor, Dr Kannel had me in surgery Tuesday..."

Here's the latest Sample from The Gridiron Griller featuring someone you may recognize:
--- Disclaimer, don't watch if you're a vegetarian, ;) ---



Obviously, John has a passion for food rivaled only by his passion on the football field. I remember living in South Florida when he had a chain of bagel stores before bagel store chains were all the rage. In fact, he sold that chain and it was turned into THE bagel store chain, Einstein's Bagels.

Since then, he has opened Offerdahl's Cafe Grill, which currently has eight locations in South Florida. I checked, there's no donut burger on the menu, but they do serve grilled chicken breast sandwiches for lunch and sell several pastries, so the possibilities are there for the imaginative!

    I think Offerdahl started out with a bagel chain. It's good to see him doing well. He was a great player that eventually couldn't escape the injury bug.

    It was "Obviously, John has a passion for food rivaled only by his passion on the football field." I thought it would more about the kind of apron he wears and how he got his passion for food. I know why people have a passion for food, because it tastes good and they like to eat. LOL

  12. That's not a passion, that's a 'hunger'!
    passion implies you're working with it.

    People who like to work with food like to eat who are we kidding. LOL

    I was going to ask you why you became Miami Dolphins Blog? I thought maybe it was because of our other conversation on the other blog about trolls.
