ATLANTA -- One celebrity chef is showing what it means lend a hand this holiday season.
Savannah's own Paula Deen is helping to deliver more than 25,000 lbs. of protein to Hosea Feed the Hungry.
Although the focus was on giving back, things took a quick turn when Deen got a serving of ham in a rather unique way.
While tossing hams and turkeys, a misguided thrown ham hit Deen in the face, but that didn’t sideline her from the topic at hand.
"I think it might have hit maybe just right where, I thought it busted my lip, but it didn't," said Deen.
While Deen managed to escape visible injury, she did say the area around her nose hurt.
"I just got hit with a hog so what do I expect said Deen through laughter. "Ran head on to a hog."
When asked about her upbeat personality Deen responded, "You have to be able to laugh, otherwise I'd be in a loony bin."
Deen is helping promote Smithfield Foods' initiative to help ensure that American families in need do not go hungry.
I saw that yesterday....if looked like it hurt...A LOT! Ouch.
She came out for Obama during the election.
Had Goonie Goo Goo -— er, I mean Michelle on her show.
Tough.
I think this could be the next hit TV reality show:
Celebrities getting hit in the face with hams.
Who’s next? Rosie O’Donnel? Chrissy Matthews?
Man. I would PAY to see a flying ham go upside the face of Keith Olbermann.
Ham handed.
She catches hams like Roy Williams catches Tony Romo passes.
I wonder how Obama would react? Especially since it's a pork product.
“With God as my witness, I thought hams could fly!”
Paula Deen never met a fat gram she didn’t like.
Man that hurts right in the nose, eyes tear up, pain shoots around your entire head, like a stubbed toe on your face.
Frozen or thawed?
I loved Julia Child. Understood perfectly her use of butter in recipes, but Paula Deen just wants to eat it straight. But, worst of all was her fawning interview of Jimma Cater!
Oh, the lady who puts sugar and flour in cornbread? I call that cake.

That is hilarious!!...don't have anything against Paula, but I cannot take her over the top sugary accent...I think a lot of it is put on...and I'm from the south!
Frozen I think.
OUCH!!!!!!.................
So, basically, she got hit in the face with a 10-15 pound ROCK.
That’ll mess ya up some...
Oh, really? I didn’t know that. Ick. I always thought she was a bit ‘full of herself’......and I’m as ‘Southern’ as they come.
