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.
