As you know, one of the most wonderful days of my life was when I met Paula Deen. For the past 10 years our friendship has blossomed, and our joint-venture, Cooking with Paula Deen, now reaches over three million readers across the country.
If you haven’t already, watch the first installment of this intimate chat in our three-part video series. In part two, we chat about one of my favorite topics — our grandchildren — plus, what’s inside the pages of the magazine, and Paula’s new family-style restaurant in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Come back next week to see even more Paula, and join in the fun as she gives me all the details about her new Paula Deen Network.

We are visiting Pigeon Forge on Aug. 24-28, I so hope her new Restaurant is open then. If not I will be sure to visit her Gift Shop. Love you Paula, you are a real role model. I so enjoyed these videos.
Paula you are a truly warrior. An inspiration to all the housewife that are taking care of their kids and are dreaming of what to do in the future and be successful . I always said that Paula did it at mature age. I’m so glad that you overcome all the obstacles in your life and have a wonderful sons. ( don’t tell Bobby that I think he is cute).

Ms. Dolly Parton and Ms. Paula Deen–two ladies who took class and hope to the top–how wonderful and fortunate we are to have you and yours. Definitely putting Pigeon Forge on our list for travel–great music and food–what’s not to love! (Ms. Paula, we do hope the cooks make homemade mashed pots. and gravy with butter).

Love Paula Deen, and my five year old grandaughter is also a big fan! Every time she sees one of my Paula cookbooks or Paula Deen magazine she say “Grammie let’s get creative, let’s go make something in the kitchen!” Puts on her little apron and we get to cookin! Thank you Paula we still miss you on tv, I will be sure and show these videos to my grandaughter Savannah Grace:-)
I will be going to Savannah again for sure. Now a reason to go to Pigeon Forge. I have eaten at The Lady and Sons, shopped at her store, (bought cookbooks, dish towels, measuring cups, Christmas ornaments, tubes of different chap stick and more), wrote in her journal, and had dinner at Bubba’s. I would love to go again. Sweet Savannah is calling my name……Ms. Roni, Ms. Roni…… They say I look like Paula. I did until she lost all of the weight.. GREAT JOB PAULA!!!

I’m very excited for the new restaurant opening in Pigeon Forge. I visited the Lady & Sons in Savanah a few years ago, And my husband and I just loved it. I”ve been making her amazing fried chicken for my husband ever since. We definitely will be going to the new restaurant in Pigeon Forge. Paula, you are an amazing lady! I hope one day I would be able to meet you! Good luck on your new ventures!
Thanks for the wonderful video! I love, love, love Paula Deen and never become tired of seeing or readying about her. All of her books and cookbooks are a treasure. I just visited her new store in Gatlinburg and love how colorful and pleasant it is. The salespersons are outstanding in welcoming you – oh, would be nice to have one of everything in the store! Paula is a true lady and an outstanding mentor to a lot of ladies.
