Paula Deen - Celebrity Chef, Author and TV personality
LIVE FROM WILLIAMSBURG,VA - Paula will invite viewers to slow down, take a step back and think about family traditions that they can “bring to the table.” It doesn’t mean spending more money, but rather using the precious items they already own like a great-aunt’s wedding tablecloth or candlesticks to share old memories and create new ones. She is the quintessential American success story, a best-selling author and a television show host, a tastemaker to the stars and to the everyday housewife and family. She is Paula Deen, a down-home, strong willed mom who overcame personal tragedy, long odds, financial and physical challenges to carve one of the most effective and wide ranging entertainment brands that exists today. A brand that is idyllic, inspiring, fun and very much American. Today Deen has two shows running concurrently on the Food Network, including the latest, "Paula’s Best Dishes", which launched in 2008.
