Item 8.01 Other.

New Reportable Segment

Beginning with the earnings announcement regarding the fourth quarter and full year for fiscal 2012, and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending April 27, 2012, Bob Evans Farms, Inc., a Delaware corporation, will report the results of its operations in the following three reportable segments: Bob Evans Restaurants, Mimi's Café Restaurants, and Food Products. Previously, Bob Evans Restaurants and Mimi's Café Restaurants were aggregated and reported as one reporting segment, Restaurants.

In part based upon a comment letter received from the Securities & Exchange Commission, we conducted a review of the economic characteristics of our Bob Evans and Mimi's Café restaurants, in line with the Commission's business segment reporting rules, and believe that the characteristics at this time may not be sufficiently similar enough to justify the aggregation of these two operating segments into a single reporting segment.
