Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The Reporting Persons used a total of approximately $47,158,524 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to acquire the shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D. Funds for the purchase of the Common Stock reported herein as beneficially held by the Reporting Persons were derived from (i) available working capital of Castlerigg Master Investment, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by it, (ii) available working capital of CMAEE Master, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by it, (iii) available working capital of CGESE Master, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by it, (iv) available working capital of UCITS, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by it, (v) available working capital of Pulteney Partners, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by it, and (vi) margin borrowings described in the following sentence, for the shares of Common Stock held directly by Castlerigg Master Investment, CMAEE Master, CGESE Master, UCITS and Pulteney Partners. Such Common Stock is held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein.

Item 4.	PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D have been purchased and held for investment in the ordinary course of business.  The Reporting Persons initially invested in the Issuer because they believed the stock was undervalued and represented a potentially profitable investment opportunity.
Representatives of the Reporting Persons have had, and expect to continue to have, discussions with the Issuer's management and board of directors (the "Board"), other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties relating to the Issuer's business, operations, strategy, governance, future plans and related matters.
On September 23, 2013, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Board indicating their belief that the Issuer’s stock price does not reflect the significant intrinsic value of the Issuer's assets and expressing their concern regarding the Issuer's relative under-performance as compared to other publicly traded family-dining peers over the last 3-year and 5-year time periods, as well as their belief that the management of the Issuer has failed to adequately address such under-performance.  The letter also expressed the Reporting Persons' belief that the Issuer suffers from a conglomerate discount as a result of the Issuer’s two business segments, a family-dining restaurant business and a packaged foods business, which has contributed to the discount at which the Issuer's Common Stock trades as compared to its peers.  In addition, the letter outlined the Reporting Persons' proposals for increasing the value of the Issuer, consisting of (i) the separation of its packaged foods business, BEF Foods, through a sale or a spin-off to the Issuer's stockholders; (ii) the entry into a sale-leaseback transaction to realize the significant real estate value associated with the Issuer's owned restaurant properties; and (iii) the launch of a large, one-time self-tender for the Issuer's Common Stock.  The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the letter, attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
On September 24, 2013, the Reporting Persons issued a press release containing a copy of the foregoing letter and a link to a White Paper on enhancing shareholder value of the Issuer.  The White Paper set forth a more detailed analysis of the Issuer's business, historical under-performance and intrinsic value of the Issuer's assets, as well as the Reporting Persons' proposals for actions to be taken by the Issuer to realize the intrinsic value.  The foregoing summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the press release and the White Paper, attached as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)–(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt,

EXHIBIT 1

September 23, 2013

The Board of Directors

Bob Evans Farms, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

3776 South High Street

Columbus, OH 43207

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Based on the previous discussions that we have had with Steven Davis and Michael Gasser, you may be aware that Sandell Asset Management Corp. (“Sandell”) is among the largest shareholders of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (“Bob Evans” or the “Company”), with beneficial ownership of approximately 1.4 million shares, or 5.1%, of the Company. This, we point out, is significantly more than the collective outright ownership of all of the Company’s directors and officers combined. It is therefore clear that we have a great interest in seeing the stock price of Bob Evans better reflect the intrinsic value of the Company’s unique assets. We believe this value may range from approximately $73 per share to $84 per share, for an average value of $78.50 per share.

It was our understanding from our recent conversation with Mr. Gasser that he would discuss with the entire Board of Directors (the “Board”) the matters set forth in our August 5^th letter to him and we appreciate his efforts as Lead Independent Director to serve as a liaison between the Board and the shareholders. We are therefore somewhat encouraged by the Company’s incremental $150 million share repurchase “authorization” that was announced in Bob Evans’ August 19^th earnings release. That said, we are troubled by the fact that the same earnings release made no mention of other key matters that we addressed in our letter, many of which we repeat below.

We believe that Bob Evans suffers from a conglomerate discount as a result of the Company’s two disparate business segments: a restaurant business, Bob Evans Restaurants, and a packaged foods business, BEF Foods. Due in part to this conglomerate structure, which has negatively impacted analyst coverage and ignores the different constituencies of restaurant and packaged foods investors, the Company has traded at a perennial discount to its restaurant peers, and at an even greater discount to companies in the packaged foods space. Given this history, it is particularly concerning to us that management continues to proclaim the “corporate synergies” and “cross-segment strategies” between Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods. The benefits of continued integration between these two businesses do not seem compelling and we believe that management may be touting these perceived benefits to justify the preservation of their “empire” and their refusal to separate these two businesses. In addition, we believe that the market is not affording Bob Evans adequate value for its substantial real estate holdings, which include its 482 wholly-owned restaurant properties.

We are, moreover, highly troubled by the Company’s relative under-performance, as the stock price of Bob Evans has under-performed many of its publicly-traded family-dining restaurant peers over the last 3-year and 5-year time periods as of September 19. For example, over the last 5 years, the stock price of Cracker Barrel, which we believe is the most comparable publicly-traded family-dining peer to Bob Evans, is up 248%, whereas the stock price of Bob Evans is up only 97%, reflecting under-performance by a staggering 151%. We are alarmed, in light of this under-performance, by the degree to which the Board appears to defer to management. The recent 4-year extension to Mr. Davis’s employment agreement is an ill-justified reward for the Company’s disappointing relative performance, particularly in light of the fact that Mr. Davis oversaw the poor results of the Mimi’s Café restaurant chain for almost six years before the Company finally divested the business at a significant loss this year. Furthermore, we seriously question the appropriateness of having Mr. Davis serve as Chairman of the Board when he also serves as CEO, particularly in light of the Company’s under-performance.

We believe that the Company should take the following actions:

(1) Separate BEF Foods - Take steps to separate the Company’s BEF Foods segment, including filing a preliminary registration statement for an IPO, as a pre-cursor to a full spin-off. Based on our internal estimates, Bob Evans is trading at an enterprise value of approximately 8.7x FY2014E EBITDA, which is a substantial discount to the value ascribed to other publicly-traded packaged foods companies such as Campbell Soup, ConAgra, and Hormel. It is our belief that BEF Foods could command a multiple in excess of 10.0x EBITDA if it were to be spun-off to shareholders and traded on a stand-alone basis. Alternatively, in our view, BEF Foods could command an even higher multiple of EBITDA if it were sold to a third-party, particularly given the robust M&A activity witnessed in the packaged foods industry, with recent transactions for companies such as Ralcorp and Heinz taking place at multiples of 12.5x and 14.3x EBITDA, respectively, according to Bloomberg.

(2) Sale-Leaseback - Enter into a sale-leaseback transaction to unlock the significant real estate value embedded in the Company’s owned restaurant properties. As noted, Bob Evans owns 482 restaurants, representing 86% of the Company’s entire restaurant base, all of which will have been “Farm Fresh” remodeled by the end of Fiscal 2014. Given the Company’s fully-remodeled store base, we would view management’s justification for owning real estate due to the “flexibility” inherent in such ownership as specious and no longer relevant to Bob Evans. Our analysis indicates that over $720 million could be generated via a sale-leaseback of the Company’s owned restaurants, a value that may be conservative given recent analyst estimates (e.g. “The company’s real estate could be worth another $800MM - $1B” - CL King, April 26, 2013; “We are upgrading BOBE…due to what we view as a cleaner story for investors with improving margins, good underlying sales momentum in its core businesses and nearly $900 mil. in real estate value (64% of the enterprise value)” - Stephens Inc, January 30, 2013.)

(3) Repurchase Stock via Self-Tender - Apply most of the proceeds from (1) and (2) above to effect a large, one-time self-tender for the Company’s shares. To be clear, we feel it is important that Bob Evans provide the investment community with certainty that it will repurchase shares via a self-tender, as opposed to an indeterminate share repurchase “authorization.” By our calculations, the Company could generate proceeds of approximately $1.08 billion should the Company sell its BEF Foods business and complete a sale-leaseback of its restaurant properties. As a hypothetical example, the Company could use 75% of such proceeds to repurchase a significant number of shares via a self-tender at $58 per share while still leaving the Company with substantial cash on its balance sheet. The resulting company would be a pure-play restaurant operator with a simplified corporate structure and a greatly reduced outstanding share count.

It is likely that Bob Evans, as a pure-play restaurant company with a completely upgraded store base and positive operating prospects, could trade at a multiple comparable to, or in excess of, other publicly-traded family-dining companies. As such, a post-tender price of between approximately $73 per share and $84 per share, or an average price of $78.50 per share, could be justified based on the resulting company trading at a 9.0x multiple of adjusted Pro-Forma FY2014E EBITDA. This may be conservative considering that some other family-dining restaurant chains such as Cracker Barrel are trading at enterprise value multiples in excess of 9.0x FY2014E EBITDA. It is important to note that the plan that we are advocating does not involve sweeping cost-reduction measures but rather is financial in nature and wholly within the control of the Company.

We believe that there is strong support for our ideas and it is our hope that the Board fully understands our determination to see value delivered to the shareholders, who are the true owners of the Company. As fiduciaries entrusted to manage funds for our investors, we are prepared to take further steps to protect the value of our investment in Bob Evans should we perceive that the Board is not addressing these important matters in a timely fashion.

Sincerely,

Thomas E. Sandell

Sandell Asset Management Urges Bob Evans Farms to Take Actions to Unlock Shareholder Value

Sandell Issues Letter to Bob Evans Board and Releases White Paper Outlining Multi-Step Approach to Value Creation

Action Plan Could Yield Company Value of up to $84 per Share

NEW YORK (September 24, 2013) -- Sandell Asset Management Corp. ("Sandell"), the beneficial owner of approximately 1.4 million shares, or 5.1%, of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOBE) ("Bob Evans" or the “Company”), sent a letter to the Company’s Board of Directors urging the Board to take a multi-step approach to unlock shareholder value at the Company.

The following are highlights of Sandell's opinions, which are presented in greater detail in its letter to the Board (the full text of which is set forth below) and White Paper presentation (available at: http://www.sandellmgmt.com/news/Enhancing_Value_at_Bob_Evans.pdf):

· Bob Evans is materially undervalued, as its stock price does not reflect the intrinsic value of its underlying assets.

o The Company suffers from a conglomerate discount, as it has two business segments: (1) a family-dining restaurant business, Bob Evans Restaurants, and (2) a packaged foods business, BEF Foods, and trades at a discount to other family-dining restaurant companies and packaged foods companies.

o The Company’s stock price does not reflect the significant real estate value of the Company’s 482 wholly-owned restaurant properties.

o The Company’s stock price has significantly under-performed other publicly-traded family-dining restaurant peers over the last 3-year and 5-year time periods.

· Bob Evans should take a multi-step approach in order to realize this value:

o Step 1: Separate its food products business (BEF Foods) through a sale or a spin-off to its shareholders.

o Step 2: Unlock the substantial real estate value embedded in its many owned restaurant properties through a sale-leaseback transaction.

o Step 3: Implement a large self-tender with most of the proceeds generated from Step 1 and Step 2.

· If Bob Evans were to pursue these steps, Sandell believes the Company could generate approximately $1.08 billion in proceeds and, as a hypothetical example, could use 75% of such proceeds to repurchase its shares at $58 per share while still leaving the Company with substantial cash on the balance sheet.

· A potential post-tender stock price of between approximately $73 per share and $84 per share, or an average price of $78.50 per share, could be justified.

The Board of Directors

Bob Evans Farms, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

3776 South High Street

Columbus, OH 43207

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Based on the previous discussions that we have had with Steven Davis and Michael Gasser, you may be aware that Sandell Asset Management Corp. (“Sandell”) is among the largest shareholders of Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (“Bob Evans” or the “Company”), with beneficial ownership of approximately 1.4 million shares, or 5.1%, of the Company. This, we point out, is significantly more than the collective outright ownership of all of the Company’s directors and officers combined. It is therefore clear that we have a great interest in seeing the stock price of Bob Evans better reflect the intrinsic value of the Company’s unique assets. We believe this value may range from approximately $73 per share to $84 per share, for an average value of $78.50 per share.

(“Bob Evans” or the “Company”) is materially undervalued, as its stock price does not reflect the intrinsic value of its underlying assets • The Company suffers from a conglomerate discount as a result of the Company’s two business segments : ( 1 ) a family - dining restaurant business, Bob Evans Restaurants, and ( 2 ) a packaged foods business, BEF Foods, and trades at a discount to both publicly - traded family - dining restaurant and packaged foods companies . • The stock price of Bob Evans has under - performed many other publicly - traded family - dining restaurant peers over the last 3 - year and 5 - year time periods . • The CEO of Bob Evans has been awarded a 4 - year extension to his employment agreement while presiding over stock price under - performance as well as the poor results and delayed sale of the Mimi’s Café restaurant chain . • The Company’s stock price does not reflect the significant embedded value of the Company’s owned real estate, particularly considering that all of Bob Evans restaurants will have been remodeled by the end of Fiscal 2014 . • While the Company’s recent incremental $ 150 million share repurchase authorization is a positive, the Company has the ability to return substantially more cash to its shareholders . ♦ We believe the Company should take a multi - step approach in order to realize this value • Step 1 : The Company should separate its food products business (BEF Foods) through a sale or a spin - off to its shareholders . • Step 2 : The Company should unlock the value embedded in its many owned restaurant properties through a sale - leaseback transaction . • Step 3 : The Company should implement a large self - tender with most of the proceeds generated from Step 1 and Step 2 .

14 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. 5 - Year Under - Performance Bob Evans Farms, Inc. – Enhancing Shareholder Value • The under - performance of Bob Evans over the last 5 years has been even more pronounced, as the Company has under - performed all selected publicly - traded family - dining restaurant peers by as much as 150.5%.

15 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. CEO Rewarded for Under - Performance Bob Evans Farms, Inc. – Enhancing Shareholder Value • Steven A. Davis, who serves as both CEO and Chairman of the Board, was hired in May of 2006 and was recently awarded a 4 - year extension to his employment agreement. • Mr. Davis has presided over the Company during many years of relative stock price under - performance, including the aforementioned 3 - year and 5 - year time periods. • As CEO, Mr. Davis had overseen the persistent poor results at the Mimi’s Café restaurant chain: Mimi's Café - Comp. Store Sales FY 2012 - 4.00% FY 2011 - 4.50% FY 2010 - 7.20% FY 2009 - 7.20% FY 2008 - 2.40% • Purchased for $183 million in July of 2004, Mimi’s Café was sold for $50 million in February of 2013, realizing a $133 million loss.

16 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Step 1 – Separate BEF Foods BEF Foods FY 2014E EBITDA (1) $50.7 MM Multiple of EBITDA 11.0 x Proceeds from Sale of BEF Foods Business $557.7 MM (1) Internal estimates, adjusted for 1 - time and other costs. Bob Evans Farms, Inc. – Enhancing Shareholder Value • Bob Evans Restaurants and BEF Foods are managed independently, have limited operational synergies, and taken together present a confusing story to investors, leading to a diminished valuation . • Valued separately, we believe BEF Foods w ould realize a higher value than Bob Evans Restaurants, based upon the double - digit EBITDA multiples afforded to certain pure - play packaged food companies, compared with the single digit multiples where public restaurant companies trade . As such, the Company should take steps to separate BEF Foods, including filing a preliminary registration statement for an IPO, as a pre - cursor to a full spin - off . • While we would encourage the exploration of a spin - off of the BEF Foods business, robust M&A activity in the packaged foods space may make a sale of BEF Foods another method to deliver shareholder value . (Note recent comments from The Hillshire Brands Company’s CFO Maria Henry in their May 2 , 2013 conference call : “We do see M&A as a way to create significant shareholder value … We’ll have a discipline[d] approach to M&A, clearly, and we’re looking for acquisitions that align with our strategic vision” . ) • A sale of BEF Foods at 11 . 0 x EBITDA may be conservative given recent private market transactions involving packaged food companies such as Ralcorp and Heinz, which were acquired at multiples of 12 . 5 x and 14 . 3 x EBITDA, respectively, according to Bloomberg .

Step 2 – Extract Value from Real Estate via Sale – Leaseback Transaction Bob Evans Restaurants: # of Owned Properties 482 # of Leased Properties 78 Total # of Restaurants 560 % of Restaurants that are Owned 86.1% Bob Evans Farms, Inc. – Enhancing Shareholder Value • Bob Evans owns the real estate of 86% of the Company’s restaurants, all of which are expected to be remodeled at significant cost by the end of Fiscal 2014. Average Revenue per Bob Evans Restaurant (2013) $ 1.75 MM Number of Owned Bob Evans Restaurants 482 Estimated "Owned Restaurant" Revenue $ 843.5 MM Estimated Additional Rent Expense @ 6.00% of Revenue $50.6MM Estimated Cap. Rate in Sale – Leaseback 7.00% Proceeds from Sale - Leaseback $722.9MM • Bob Evans should take steps to unlock the substantial value inherent in these 482 owned restaurant properties.

18 Strictly Confidential. Do Not Duplicate or Distribute. Step 2 (cont’d) – Extract Value from Real Estate via Sale – Leaseback Transaction • The valuation on the previous page assumes an incremental rent expense equal to 6 . 0 % of owned restaurant revenue that is capitalized at a 7 . 0 % cap rate, which is conservative compared with lower cap rates witnessed in recent restaurant sale - leaseback transactions . (See casual - dining restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday’s July 24 , 2013 earnings conference call : “We have now finished our sale - leaseback program, which resulted in the completion of transactions on 37 restaurants, resulting in $ 83 million of gross proceeds at average cap rates under 6 . 7 % , including cap rates in the range of 6 . 25 % on our most recent transactions . ”) • We believe our $ 722 . 9 million estimate of Bob Evans’ real estate value is conservative (See 4 / 26 / 13 CL King research report : “The company’s real estate could be worth another $ 800 MM - $ 1 B” and 1 / 30 / 13 Stephens Inc . research report : “We are upgrading BOBE … due to what we view as a cleaner story for investors with improving margins, good underlying sales momentum in its core businesses and nearly $ 900 mil . in real estate value” . ) • $ 722 . 9 million works out to $ 1 . 50 million per owned restaurant, which is significantly below the Company’s stated cost to build a new restaurant . As noted on page 4 of the Company’s 10 - K for the fiscal year ended April 29 , 2011 : “In fiscal 2011 , it cost approximately $ 2 . 3 million to build a new stand - alone Bob Evans restaurant, including the land . ” • We have availed ourselves of outside expert tax guidance and we believe, given the stated book value of the Company’s land holdings, along with the significant expenditures associated with the Company’s restaurants, that the tax impact in a sale - leaseback transaction would not be prohibitive .

(1) Internal estimates. Bob Evans Farms, Inc. – Enhancing Shareholder Value • After pursuing Step 1 and Step 2, the Company would have approximately $1.08 billion in cash, 75% of which could be returned to shareholders via a share repurchase through a large self - tender.
