Bring Bob Evans Farmhouse Feast Home for the Holidays

Complete, Family-Size Homestyle Holiday Meals to Go Available for Limited Time

Let Bob Evans do the cooking this Thanksgiving and give your family a delicious meal at less than $10 per person. The Holiday Farmhouse Feast comes complete with Bob Evans' signature slow-roasted boneless turkey breast, bread and celery dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, buttered sweet corn, green beans with ham, cranberry orange relish, rolls, a loaf of pumpkin bread and a pumpkin pie with whipped topping.

A money-saving treat for the entire family from start to finish, Holiday Farmhouse Feast starts at just $74.99 and serves six to eight people. Additional breads, side dishes and desserts may also be added a la carte. Following Thanksgiving, guests will be able to purchase the Holiday Farmhouse Feast featuring a sliced, boneless ham. Ham or turkey can be added to the respective feast for just $22.99 more. The Holiday Farmhouse Feast is also available for Christmas and anytime during December for holiday entertaining.

"We want our guests to spend quality time with their families during the holidays by providing a convenient, homestyle deal. Last year our chefs shopped, prepared and cooked for a comparable meal," said Mary Cusick, Bob Evans senior vice president of marketing. "The results were astounding. Doing this type of meal at home would cost more than $80. Ordering a Bob Evans Farmhouse feast made for 'the most stress free Thanksgiving' and 'allowed for more free time' for our guests."

For Thanksgiving, guests can order the feast at any Bob Evans restaurant or for pick-up on November 25. The Web site also includes customer testimonials and heating instructions. The meals are fresh and made-to-order, but quantities are limited, therefore ordering early is highly recommended.

"The holiday season is about good food and good memories," said Cusick. "Our Farmhouse Feast will save hours in the kitchen, without the sacrifice of homestyle taste."
