Eddie Jackson Dishes On Working Alongside His ‘Idol’ Bobby Flay After ‘Navigating Post-NFL Career’
Eddie Jackson went from launching his own food trucks post-NFL career to starring as a host, judge or chef in multiple Food Network shows. The former cornerback recalled finding his footing in food after his stint in the NFL, and how Bobby Flay was a major inspiration. “I had a quick conversation with my dad when I retired at a fairly young age due to injuries, and he asked, ‘What else do you love to do?’ I loved cooking food, so I bought a food truck and started a catering company and the rest is history,” Eddie recalled in an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife.
