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.
