Latest info: Linda Hawkins email detail Paula Dean Tour Paula Deen is a self-made success story who learned the secrets of southern cooking from her Grandmother some 30 years ago. She had no idea of the time that the love of southern cooking her grandmother instilled in her would lead to a life-long career.
Newly divorced and with only $200 her name, Paula packed up her two sons and moved from Albany, Ga., to Savannah. There she started her own catering business called The Bag Lady, where she prepared fresh lunches to sell to downtown businesses and doctors' offices. Most days Paula rose in the early morning to grill chicken for popular chicken salad. Every Thursday night she cooked until the wee hours to create a mouthwatering Friday special, Boston Butt. Her local specialties, such as chicken pot pies, barbecue sandwiches,lasagna and banana pudding, caught on with the Savannah business crowd and quickly became the talk of the town.
In 1990, Paula opened her own restaurant in the south side Savannah Best Western, called The Lady and Sons. In 1995 Paula relocated to downtown Savannah where Lady and Sons has been ever since. The Lady and Sons has gathered accolades from critics and media alike. The most important honor for Paula was when the food writer for USA Today recognized The Lady and Sons as having the Most Memorable Meal of the Year.Paula's business continues to flourish with a series of successful cookbooks. Paula Deen and Friends:Living it up, Southern Style, The Lady and Sons Savannah Country Cookbook. Ther Lady and Sons Two, and The Lady and Sons Just Desserts. She also has a magazine "Cooking with Paula Deen" and two Food Network TV shows--Paula's Home Cooking, and Paula's Party. She is seen on most TV shows such as Ophra, Regis, Today, GoodMorning America, etc. as well as HSN and QVC. All in all she is a Souther Bell "rags to riches" gal with southern charm and wit.
copied from Soup's Oct 2007 emails Good Morning Everyone. I am putting out this note mainly for the "Early Birds" who are sending in their 2008 reunion questionnaires along with a check. The reunion dinner in the October 2007 Newsletter has the reunion dinner at $30. Unfortunately since then I have had to raise the cost of the dinner to $35 for the following reasons: We are not getting a free banquet room, we had to pay a $1600 rental fee for the rotunda of the Mighty Eighth Museum Hall and our caterer's actual price for the dinner is $22 (plus 7% sales tax and 18% gratuity). So with both things put together the $35 price tag for our reunion dinner. This is referring to the reunion in Pooler, GA. Any questions about the increase feel free to contact me. The following is the menu for the dinner Phil: Southern Fried Chicken, Baby Back Ribs, Pulled Pork, Red Beans and Rice, Collard Greens, Squash Casserole, Macaroni & Cheese, Garden Salad, Fresh Bread, Coffee, Iced Tea and Assorted Cookies.
Any questions? Soupy Campbell, Secretary/Treasurer
