Press release from Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – With all three National Championships and all 9 SEC Championships between them, you won’t find two bigger names in the lore of Gators football than Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. This Friday, however, you can find them both at Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille.
The Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier, whose restaurant in Celebration Pointe has become the flagship restaurant for Gators athletics, along with his wife Jerri, welcome former head coach Urban Meyer as a special guest from 4 to 6 pm. The two titans of college coaching will be on hand to meet with fans. Jerri and Shelley Meyer will serve as Celebrity Bartenders, mixing cocktails made with Urban Meyer’s Los Linderos Tequila and serving crisp glasses of Head Beer Coach 1966 Lager, Spurrier’s beer, brewed locally by First Magnitude Brewing Co.
“Coach Meyer had some great success here at Florida, and I always admired the effort his teams showed on the field,” Coach Spurrier said. “We’re looking forward to having he and Shelley at the restaurant to meet with fans and have some fun.”
The fun isn’t all, though. Fans will be able to get photos and autographs from the coaches for a suggested minimum donation of $50. 100% of the proceeds raised will benefit three charity organizations with UF ties: Steve Spurrier’s HBC Foundation, Danny Wuerffel’s Desire Street Ministries, and the Tim Tebow Foundation. All three charities were founded by Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks of the Florida Gators.
Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille offers a farm-to-table menu of delicious meals and a number of hand-crafted cocktails set in amongst memorabilia from Steve Spurrier’s storied playing and coaching career, as well as items on loan from other Gators players and coaches. The restaurant, opened in August of 2021, has quickly become the premier restaurant for dinner, brunch, private events, and celebrations in North Central Florida.
