Franklin

media type="custom" key="3652881"

Hello my name is Paula Deen, In Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales I was the Franklin. I love cooking, what I truly enjoy is cooking for my friends and family. I have made a career out of being a good cook and now have my own TV show called Paula’s Home Cooking. I also have my own restaurant called Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House. I started out in my grandmothers’ kitchen, helping her cook her home recipes. From there I went on to start a business at home and from there a restaurant. I love good food and to be with friends and family. I welcome anyone to my home to join me.
