A few of you, I believe, know and understand the "rags to riches" story of our Paul Deen! She was born and raised in Georgia and, after a divorce, had a problem with leaving the house, agoraphobia (public places). But she knew how to cook the old-fashioned, traditional Southern way. Paula began her very small catering business in her own kitchen, preparing "complete" lunches. Her two sons would go out each day to sell them. And people fell in like with those lunch bags.
Eventually, she took another big jump and opened a restaurant, The Lady and Two Sons! That two developed into a huge success, with dedication and GOOD old-fashioned Southern food...comfort food!. When someone suggested that she move her "act"into television, with her own cooking show and homespun way of talking, her first reaction was...NO! She just could not go out in front of people, nuch less an audience!
But, again, she mustered up enough courage to try. The rest is history!
Her homey wit, down to Earth cookin' methods and honesty quickly won over Georgia's audiences and later into the entire country.
Cheesy meat loaf...fried chicken...gooey buttercake...her baked macaroni and cheese and homemade banana pudding are but a handful of her popular recipes.
You go, PAULA DEEN....you deserve all of the accolades and $$$$$ you and your two sons earn!
