Meet Paula Deen
Culinary icon Paula Deen is a self-made entrepreneur who learned her savory secrets from her grandmother. She started her career in the food industry with a small catering company called The Bag Lady, but business quickly outgrew her home kitchen. Taking a leap of faith, she opened her first restaurant, The Lady and Sons, which has since become a tourist hot spot in Savannah, GA. With her huge personality, delectable recipes and heart of gold, Paula next found herself in talks with TV execs after a friend introduced her to some influential people in the business. The rest, as they say, is history.
In addition to her television success, Paula has sold more than 11,000,000 copies of her 14 cookbooks and launched the Paula Deen Network, an interactive digital portal that combines cooking, lifestyle and game shows with great recipes, meal-planning tools and more.
