About Paula Deen

Paula Deen Paula Deen is a self-made success story who learned the secrets of American Southern cooking from her grandmother. She had no idea at the time that these lessons would lead to a life-long career. Newly divorced and with only 200USD to her name, Paula started her own catering business called The Bag Lady, where she prepared fresh lunches to sell to downtown businesses and doctors' offices. Most days Paula rose in the early morning to prepare chicken for her popular chicken salad. Every Thursday night she cooked until the early morning hours to create a mouthwatering Friday barbecue special. Her local specialties, such as chicken pot pies, barbecue sandwiches, lasagne and banana pudding, caught on with the local business crowd and quickly became the talk of the town.
