Paula Deen has parlayed a love and talent for Southern cooking into food-related empire. Born in Albany, Georgia, Deen moved to Savannah in 1989 where she began a catering business. She created the food and sons Bobbie and Jamie delivered it. The catering business was big success and in 1996 she opened a restaurant, the now famous The Lady and Sons, in downtown Savannah. Most patrons choose the buffet which includes Southern-fried chicken, cheesy meatloaf, greens, sweet potatoes, creamed corn and much more.
