On the way to Toronto yesterday to support our new Canadian Stamp (see below), we faced the purgatory of airport food before an early morning flight. What a pleasant surprise to discover UFood Grill, a new franchise offering Real Food, and enjoy an egg-cheese-and-turkey-bacon breakfast sandwich on a whole wheat bagel. At UFood Grill you don’t even need to make a special request to get whole grains: that whole wheat bagel is standard, as is the whole wheat bun on the burgers and the brown rice in the “UBowls.”

The chain’s first three locations are at Logan Airport in Boston, in Naples ,Florida and in Roseville, California, with seven more franchises in four states in the works. Five more Massachusetts locations currently operate under the name KnowFat Lifestyle Grill. (Cynthia — April 16, 2008)
