BAKERSFIELD, CA Entertaining comes naturally to country music icon Dwight Yoakam, who has won Grammy awards for his music and gained critical acclaim for his roles in hit movies ("Panic Room.") Off-stage, he loves to entertain friends with great-tasting, down-home dishes. A special family recipe inspired him to create Dwight Yoakam's Bakersfield Biscuits™.

Dwight Yoakam's line of Bakersfield Biscuits includes Buttermilk Biscuits and five main-dish biscuit selections, with easy-to-prepare sauce or gravy packets in five mouthwatering flavors for all-day meal solutions: Country Style Gravy, Sausage Gravy, Chicken Stew, Beef Stew, and Beef Chili.

Delicious Bakersfield Biscuits have warm homemade taste with "heat 'em and eat 'em"™ convenience, and they go from freezer to table in about 20 minutes. The frozen biscuits are baked in their own handy baking pan until golden brown, while the sauce or gravy is heated in the microwave or hot water. When ready to serve, just spoon or pour the sauce or gravy over the biscuits. In just minutes, a piping hot, satisfying meal is ready to share with family and friends. For a heartier meal, busy cooks can serve favorite fruits, vegetables or prepared salad with the biscuits. One taste and you will fall in love with Dwight Yoakam's Bakersfield Biscuits™.

Dwight Yoakam, known for his relaxed style and trademark Western-style hat, decided to make Bakersfield Biscuits available for fans and comfort food lovers, after his close friends in Bakersfield, California, just could not get enough of these mouth-watering delights. Bakersfield Biscuits are now available at Albertson's Stores in Southern California. Look for them in the frozen food department. Additional markets will be announced as the biscuits become available in supermarkets nationwide.

Interviews with Dwight Yoakam are limited and are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, contact Linda Funk at 515-669-9061, Vice President of Food Insights. Don't forget to ask either of them about the legend of Biscuit Boy.
