Paula Deen has been making quarantine cooking videos
And they’re really sweet and comforting!
I’ve exhausted all of the Bon Appetit videos on YouTube, so today I started looking for other familiar faces who might be producing some quarantine comfort video content. It was really heartening to find Paula making new content, even though I know she’s a shameless bigot. It’s just so soothing to see somebody I know from TV who, despite being a multimillionnaire, is having to do her level best to get through these #UncertainTimes.
I don’t think I’ve ever made a Paula Deen recipe, but I really didn’t recall her FoodNetwork show being so unhealthy. The foundation of every recipe on her channel is either mayonnaise, or sour cream, or cream cheese, or velveeta. It’s honestly like SimplySara in a well-appointed McMansion with a gas range after having had her goiter reduced.

Have you forgotten about all the butter she used? DELICIOUS GOLDEN BUTTER!

Paula Deen handled everything so poorly. If she were smart, she would have found diabetic alternatives to her previous recipes, redressed them for a base audience that is probably made up of many diabetic or diabetic prone people.

Jenny Jones also has cooking videos on Youtube and she's sweet and I enjoy watching her cook. She's another Polish New Jersey lady like Martha, but much nicer.
I never really knew of Paula Deen before her racial controversy (I'm not even sure what it is because I don't care), but I did discover her new cooking videos and I did enjoy them.

She probably thinks that quarantine is like segregation. Cunt.

Motherfuckers, I ( and only I) have led the fight for diversity and inclusion in the baking world. It is I who is solely responsible for checking my privilege and providing a recipe that all can enjoy during a pandemic ,while still honoring my colored brothers and sisters.

Deep rich chocolate with a dusting of white supremacy or crack.

YouTube recommended her videos to me and I watched part of one, but like OP, I never made one of her recipes so I quickly realized I didn't have any interest in it. I've made recipes from probably every other Food Network star except her, not out of any sociopolitical concern, but because she just never made anything that sounded tasty enough to try.

Yeah, her food is pretty ordinary. Even Sandra Lee has a camp factor. PUla, Sunny and the sandwiches guy makes really mediocre food.

My sister did an internship on the island where Paula lives outside Savannah; I forget what it's called (Ellington Island, maybe?). When I went to visit her that summer, she said, "I guess you want to see where Paula lives." I was indeed curious, and there wasn't much else to do on the island. We drove past and from what I recall, the house was pretty near the road. There was a gate, of course, but you could clearly see in the windows of the main house. Kathy Griffin's ep of her reality show when she and Michael McDonald stayed overnight at the house is a hoot. At one point, Paula shows them how to select a switch for whooping children (no joke). At least she didn't do that when Oprah and Gayle visited her.

These vids have been popping up for some reason on my home page as well. I had a hearty chuckle at her "Cracker Salad". Anything which calls for a cup and a half or more mayo is disgusting. And to the Southerners here, Miss Paula didn't even have the sense to use Duke's!
There's another worthwhile vid of her making "Savannah Red Rice".... which appears to be a bastardised Spanish Rice, albeit a bit soupy and baked in her oven. The comments are priceless.... Many xenophobes taking umbrage to any comparisons, whatsoever. They seem awfully triggered and anti-Spanish. I was waiting for someone to write, "This is WHITE rice, cooked by WHITE people in the South!" "Nothin' to do with no Spanish Mexicans!" Then a few take her on for asking black servers to dress in "historical" slave costumes for a Plantation themed wedding reception. This woman gives me the creeps, and causes my teeth to itch.

That voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. And I must say, she's looking right haggard these days. She never was able to sell that house on Wilmington Island (the one in the video). She was asking $11 million for it. That was back when she was planning on relocating to New York City because she was stupid enough to believe she was going to be a big star again. That fell through obviously.

I hope like hell she's not a Trump lover. She professed her love and admiration for Pres. Carter so I can't imagine she could go for Trump. But with people like her you never know. I doubt the truth ever comes out of her mouth.

Believe me Oprah already knows. There is not a white or black person that grew up in the South at any point in the 1900s that doesn't know about switches. Most grandmas make you go out and cut it yourself. If you choose one that breaks you get double the whacks.

Paul Deen once did possibly the stupidest cooking thing I've ever seen anyone do, on one of her shows. She was filming from Ft. Pulaski (outside Savannah) and cooking period foods over an open fire. She was going to show how they used to fry things on a shovel. She pulls out a spade, sprays it with Pam and then pours oil onto the shovel. When I saw that I screamed at the TV "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SPRAY THE FUCKING SHOVEL WITH PAM YOU IDIOT - DID YOU THINK THE OIL YOU POURED IN ON TOP OF IT MIGHT STICK IF YOU DIDN'T"!!!

This made me think of that Law & Order: SVU episode where Cybill Shepard played a thinly disguised version of Paula Deen who shot and killed an unarmed Black teen, claiming self-defense.
Casting Cybill Shepard was being way too generous.

Has anyone here watched Quarantine Fried Chicken with Paula? She uses an entire bottle of hot sauce in her egg mixture.
In another recipe I saw her use an entire bottle of salad dressing years ago. I think she is a hack. WTF would someone require the entire bottle? She didn't season the chicken, or her flour. She used no herbs or spices either. She was unable to gauge the proper temp for her oil to boot! It kept going down to 200 or below, though she tells her viewers to allow the chicken to sit out for an hour or so to become room temperature.
It does prove to be great free entertainment, but she's disgusting.
