I dunno if I’ve seen Paula Deen yet. Maybe! Some push their names more than others.
So far the ones I’ve liked best were some shows where folks made really fancy cakes, Alton Brown and...the Everyday Italian gal, I guess, though she could stand to wear more clothes. ;-)

Oh, honey, if you'da seen mah show, you'da remembered! Savannah, white hair, accent that won't quit, and, always, butter!
<reverting to my normal self> Ace of Cakes is cool, and Iron Chef rules. And, yeah, there's Good Eats.
*snort* SirKit and I have noticed that trend among the chicks on HGTV and the DIY Network, as well. We tune in for the design ideas; we're not interested in the cleavage.
