Paula Deen

The southern bell hosts her own show: Paula's Party. She has her own magazine as well and if you haven't had opportunity to check it out--I highly recommend it; especially if you like southern food. To me, it is the cooking magazine counterpart to Southern Living.

You can party with Paula Deen live when she tapes episodes of her show in Food Network's New York studios. The shooting dates are April 14-18 & April 21-25. E-mail for ticket information: audience@followproductions.com. .

Do You Grill a Mean Barbecue?

Bobby Flay, dubbed the grilling guru, will have a new show premiering this summer: Grill It! with Bobby Flay.
