All-Star Burger Sponsor Bringing its A-Game to the Big D

The World Food Championships (WFC) announced one of its heavy-hitting Food Sport sponsors will be returning to its Main Event this October in Dallas, Texas. Bo Jackson will be bringing his signature gourmet line of burgers, Bo’s Burgers, to the Ultimate Food Fight once again as the presenting sponsor of the international cooking competition’s Burger Category.

Since retiring from professional sports, Jackson has shifted his competitive spirit into philanthropic efforts and entrepreneurial pursuits. Over the years, he has been very successful in many different business ventures. From opening his own sports complex to creating his very own gourmet line of burgers, Jackson puts his champion efforts and spirit into all of his projects.

“We are thrilled to have a legend like Bo Jackson and his amazing line of burger join us for another great year of food fights,” said Mike McCloud, president and CEO of WFC. “Last year, Bo and his team got a taste of what Food Sport is all about. Bo understands what it's like to be in the heat of competition; we are excited to welcome him back to the cooking action. I know our competitors are looking forward to using his premium burger line again to create some mouth-watering dishes.”

In 2018, the former NFL and MLB athlete’s burgers made its Food Sport debut at WFC’s 7th annual event in Orange Beach, Alabama. As WFC makes the move to its new location, Dallas, Texas, Bo’s Burgers will provide its variety of gourmet flavors including the Angus GrandSlam Burger (made of fresh Angus ground beef).

Food and sport fans will also have the chance to catch Bo Jackson on WFC’s Maximus stage performing cooking demos with his signature line of gourmet burgers.
