Aunt Jemima® Frozen Breakfast Team Broadcasts Live From the Line
Shows America How "Every Batch Is Made From Scratch"
MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast launched the first of a three-part social video series today starring real employees in Jackson, Tennessee, who help get pancakes on the plates of millions of Americans. By pulling the curtain back on the team's unique "just-like-homemade" process, these videos tell the story of how every batch of Aunt Jemima frozen pancakes, waffles and French toast are made with the same mixing, pouring, bubbling and flipping - as if they were made at home.

"We want to tell families everywhere about the way we make breakfast by highlighting the committed employees in Tennessee behind our 'just-like-homemade' process," said Andy Reichgut, Vice President of Marketing, Pinnacle Foods. "Our pancakes, waffles and French toast taste just as good as if you made them at home because we make it the same way - our kitchen is just bigger. We use real eggs, milk, flour and sugar, pour batter on a hot cast iron griddle, wait until the pancakes bubble around the edge then flip them to fluffy perfection."

Pancake Purveyors
Via director Kevin Arbouet, brand ambassadors (and plant employees) Jennifer Franklin, Charley Schumaker and Susie Tomlinson share their own stories (informed by decades of pancake experience) live from the line in Jackson.
The stars were chosen through a plant-wide contest, which asked employees to nominate themselves and/or their peers to be the faces and voices of Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast. The three quickly rose to the top for their enthusiasm, dedication and shining personalities. Throughout the year, consumers will see the trio at events and can read about what they're cooking up via the Facebook page.
About the winners
-- Jennifer Franklin
-- Twenty-five year pancake veteran, Franklin sums up the reason she
wanted to be a part of the effort by saying, "I like what I'm doing,
what I'm smelling and what I'm eating...we are committed to making
good, wholesome breakfasts. I'm not going to make something that I
wouldn't feed my family."
-- Charley Schumaker
-- Married father of two, Schumaker manages the ingredient mix and has
been at the Jackson plant for five years. He says he's a part of the
campaign because, "I want to show people exactly how the pancakes
and waffles are made. The fact that they are mixed, poured and
flipped on cast iron griddles and cast iron waffle irons will really
surprise folks."
-- Susie Tomlinson
-- Proud grandmother to seven grandchildren, Tomlinson has been a
member of the Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast team for 34 years. She
says of her work, "We take great pride in our jobs, always put
safety first and are all committed to making great food...we at our
Jackson plant put a personal touch in helping produce these pancakes
- just like how our moms would make them."
