Paula Deen's Biography

Paula Deen was born in Albany, Georgia in 1947. Her parents both died by the time she was 23, and a resultant fear of death led to chronic agoraphobia. She was a proficient Southern cook and used it to help deal with her condition. In 1986, she felt okay enough to take a job as a bank teller. The next year, she was robbed at gunpoint. That incident led her to deal with her agoraphobia head-on. In 1989 she moved to Savannah with her 2 teenage boys, divorced her first husband and was left with $200 dollars in her pocketbook.

Paula decided to try using her passion for cooking to start a sandwich delivery business with her sons. Five years later she started the Lady and Son's restaurant in downtown Savannah.

The most popular meal at Paula's restaurant is her buffet, which can include sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, cheesy meatloaf, greens, beans, and creamed corn, plus many other items. Every meal comes with a garlic cheese biscuit and one of Paula's famous hoecakes.

Paula's Home Cooking show started on the food network in 2002. She also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show that year. Her appearance brought hundreds of letters from women who took control of their lives after watching Paula tell her story. Paula also got a bit of recognition early on when she became the first host to be bleeped on Food Network!

Deen remarried in 2004 and her wedding and preparation were all shown on the Food Network TV show.
