The Soul in the Bowl

I've been a gumbo connoisseur since I was a kid

If you're going to make real good gumbo, it's an all-day or all-night cook. But this you pop in the microwave and its ready in just seven minutes.

Smokey's food products are now available in over 4,000 stores nationally* including Albertsons and Safeway stores and recently launched in five divisions of The Kroger Company with more stores being added every week.

Since the late 50s as an entertainer, Smokey has tasted from the kettles of the worlds most renowned chefs --- and from the pots of some of the most soulful kitchens. After years of traveling the globe, Smokey has put together a product line of some of his most favorite dishes and recipes.

Fans of Motown legend Smokey Robinson will now be able to "Shop Around"--not for the single, but for gumbo.

Smokey is genuinely excited about his own line of food products!"

"I've been a gumbo connoisseur since I was a kid," Robinson says. "If you're going to make real good gumbo, it's an all-day or all-night cook. But this you pop in the microwave and its ready in just seven minutes."

Appearing on the Today Show for a taste test, Smokey's Gumbo received two thumbs up from Matt and Katie.

Located in the frozen food section, Robinson's gumbo contains chicken sausage and seafood but no red meat. It's low in cholesterol. Smokey's second product is his soulful Red Beans and Rice with more fine products to be released later this year.

The product line debuted in February 2004 with record sales and just like the living Legends's music, it is soulfoul and delicious.

Select interviews will be available on a case by case basis.
