Craving matzo ball soup? Mike Tyson's new upscale deli might be the ticket

Mike Tyson is a renaissance man. Recently, he's expanded his horizons to include Italy's "Dancing with the Stars" and a reality show on Animal Planet. Don't forget about the movie roles in the "Hangover" and "Hangover II." Nothing should surprise us with the former baddest man on the planet. Well, except the news that "Iron" Mike is in discussions to open a chain of high-end kosher restaurants. That's right, the devout Muslim is interested in serving up the finest matzo ball soup, gefilte fish and hamantaschen.

According to the N.Y. Post:

Mike Tyson is in talks with Moshe Malamud of the Franklin Mint to launch a high-end restaurant chain, a source said. The two talked shop at Malamud's favorite kosher eatery, Solo, on Madison Avenue, where Tyson dined with his pregnant wife, Lakiha Spicer, on mushroom soup and mixed vegetables. Tyson, who announced his decision to follow a strict vegan diet last spring, is said to have interest in breaking into the kosher-food business. "They discussed the concept as well as the name, but nothing was finalized," a rep for Solo said. Tyson's rep had no comment.

Tyson is a student of many things, including food. He cleaned up his diet after blimping up during the mid-2000's.
