Headline: Dwight Yoakam brings country flavor to your kitchen

"Of course, Yoakam isn't the first music star to enter the food business. Jimmy Dean, George Jones, Pattie Page, Linda McCartney (technically, she was in Wings, remember?) and Jimmy Buffett all have had significantly more hits in the supermarket than on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Yoakam's food line is the most fun, though. Chicken fries are silly. Your kids will love them. Kids like food that you can eat with your fingers. And when nobody's looking, you'll pop 10 or 12 yourself. It's fried chicken that's shaped for dunking."
