built 605 days ago
Emmy-award winning celebrity cook Paula Deen hosts two Food Network cooking shows, "Paula's Home Cooking" and "Paula's Party." She is ... a best-selling author of seven cookbooks and publishes a lifestyle magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen. Deen and her sons Jamie and Bobby own and operate the highly popular The Lady & Sons restaurant in Savannah, Ga., and she and her brother run the equally successful Uncle Bubba's Oyster House nearby. Known for her "down-home" personality and traditional Southern cooking, Deen partners with Smithfield Foods on a number of joint ventures, including her personal recipe Smithfield Crackle Glazed Spiral-sliced Ham and her signature line of Southern-style dressings, marinades, and glazing and grilling sauces.

In addition, Deen and Groover delivered dinner, provided by Smithfield Foods, to a local Kids Cafe program that is supported by the Capital Area Food Bank. Kids Cafe is a national program from America's Second Harvest that provides free meals and snacks to low-income children through existing community locations where children congregate. Deen wanted to learn more about the Kids Cafe program and how Smithfield Foods' donations are used.
