Pierre's Blue Stone Grill™ gives a fresh look and flavor to comfort food favorites
Pierre Foods is rolling out its latest innovation in packaged foods, the Blue Stone Grill line of packaged sandwiches. The offering is aimed at consumers who enjoy the home-style flavor of fresh, hot-off-the-grill foods or spicy breaded meats. Five sandwiches are in the new lineup: Honey BBQ Pork, Beef Charbroil with Cheese, Bacon Charbroil with Cheese, Buffalo Breaded Chicken (topped with a zesty buffalo ranch sauce), and the Spicy Breaded Fish with Cheese.

Each sandwich is placed on a deli-style, black square tray, then over-wrapped in a clear film printed with eye-catching graphics. Blue Stone Grill sandwiches are served on Pierre's classic, bakery-fresh, microwaveable buns.
