If this is true, then I might have to change my foodnetwork viewing habits.

I waited for an hour outside her stupid Savannah restaurant to eat from her glorified buffet.

Three days before I was there, I ate lunch in a little diner in Jonesboro.

The food I had in Jonesboro was way better and probably less than half the price.

My son thinks she gives us southern folk a bad name. Her accent seemed over the top and fake. I think it is real, and that she is sincere, but I think she is pretty silly and I don't think i will base my vote on a TV chef.

[Veto!]

You know she was on Hannity a week or so ago hawking her Smithfield connection. The hawking was so blatant, Sean only rolled his eyes and smiled and offered to treat her to real NY Nathan’s hot dogs.

There’s Southern charm, and then there’s forced Southern chawm. When it’s real, nothing in the world is as charming.

Sadly, Paula has jumped the shark and it all seems forced these days. A caricature of her former self. Over and Out.

The last place I would go for a good meal is a celebrity restaurant. I’ll take the one-offs, the hole in the wall, thank you very much.

Not surprisingly, when in SF for the Oracle conference the last 2 years, my boss thought I was on a hunger strike for the week, as I spent next to nothing on food. Can you say Chinatown? Pho in the little Vietnamese place, or the dim sum in the place with no English on the menu is very inexpensive and as tasty as anything you’ll find anywhere.

I just gave them a “shut up and cook, ya’ll” comment on their website.

Wasn't my idea, but I can't blame my wife for wanting to go. She is theoretically a celebrity for her cooking.

Indeed.

In Chicago, you can buy about eight pounds of top notch Mexican home cooking for about five bucks.

There's cheap dim sum in NYC too, but it's disappearing.

Paula Deen is also mentally unstable - and I'm speaking clinically, not facetiously.

By her own account she spent 20 years in her house, refusing to leave its walls.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Even Paula Deen can’t pour on enough sugar to make Michelle Obama palatable.

Will miss that show by a country mile.

[Malichi]

My wife ate there the Saturday before Memorial Day and said that the food was nothing to write home about. She said she has eaten much better food on "Blue Plate Specials" at local eateries here in Jackson, MS.

She was trying to figure out what the fuss was all about because her mother and my mother have been cooking like that for years.

TAW

If this is true

It's true...in her words, Jimmy Carter was "the best President this country has ever had!"

[ErnBatavia]

I’m not in the food biz anymore, but a few years ago Emeril’s in Las Vegas was always high on the food safety “violations” list.

[Knitebane]

Please note that Smithfield Foods is NOT the same company as Smithfields Chicken and Barbecue Restaurants here in North Cackilacky.

Thank goodness.

[applpie]

i would hate to cross Paula Dean. She seems like she could be a commandant.

uh huh.. She needs to stay away from the cooking spray and stop eating the special brownies.

[nascarnation]

Jimmy Carter was "the best President this country has ever had!"

So Paula was getting peanut farming subsidies too?

[devistate one four]

Smithfields is primo bbq and hush puppies And it’s a chain!
