By accident, I did happen to see Dean's show and couldn't believe my eyes: an over-weight, middle-age "kind of trampy" woman with a nausea provoking syrupy southern accent cooking some of the unhealthiest stuff ever!!! Is the Food Network insane? They dropped Emeril but Paula is still promoting heart disease.

How could I forget the wonderful INA GARTEN? Expertise laddled out with serenity and creativity. Bravo. Yes, please add to my previous comments. Thanks. Ileana
... I suppose there is a reason why the mind forgets--it's self-protective. Just as I just "forgot" the southern cook whose food "stuff" would make me give up comestibles all together. Please add this to my previous comments---beginning and ending---with Chef Lyon. Thanks. Ileana
Whenever I need a foodie tv fix, the ONLY "guru" I seek out is NATHAN LYON [A Lyon in the Kitchen]!!! Intelligent, creative, soothing, pleasant and original sans being pedantic.
Soooooooo tired of the Lagassi pseudo theatrics; Ray's exhausting body gestures and non-stop tongue/cutesey stuff; and that revolting guy in a kitchen the size of a water closet [the one who actually thinks he's funny]. Some others have thankfully been deleted even as we speak.
Mr Nathan Lyon, please keep doing what you do to perfection and with such apparent ease and pleasure!!! Thank you. ileana
Don't eat the damn food if you don't like the content! You are not being forced to make these recipes, nor eat the food. YOU eat what YOU like and the rest of us mature adults will eat what WE like. I am sure that you have eaten a hamburger, french fry or doughnut in your lifetime....well, guess what, you have just eaten a fried cheese and butter ball. It's all the same thing, just a different flavor.
Remember, it is people like you and me who made her famous, not to mention her scrumptious recipes. There is no harm in eating food like this if you ingest in moderation.
bigassbob, all I can say is AMEN! When I began viewing this blog, I loved it. After viewing it daily, I have come to realize some, but fortunately, not all, claim to be serious foodies, while in reality are simply food SNOBS. Lighten up, people! We all are allowed to make CHOICES, and some choose to occasionally make a poor nutritional choice, just for a buttery/cheesy/creamy/chocolatey sensory satisfaction. We don't ALL just eat to live. How boring is that? I had no idea the food police monitored this so closely, yet the same people constantly bad mouth anyone who dares to be different, or shows creativity, no matter how bad the creation. Paula may not be my favorite food personality, but who am I ---- or you, to tear her apart? Save it for those more worthy. You all love and approve of Bourdain, who eats live snake hearts and all manner of strange things, but let that southern lady promote her love of butter and such, and you're ready to lynch her. Ya'll probably secretly have to hide in your closet to enjoy any type of goodie, after all the preaching you do. How much fun are you to live with? You may live long, but not well. Being the serious foodie I am, all this serious talk has me craving something decadent. Maybe I'll whip up a batch of Paula's Velveeta fudge, or her Gorilla cake, or her wonderful blueberry dumplings. Has anyone tried them? Yummy!

Paula Dean can simply say the word "mayonaise" I practically burst into flames. She is unbearable, her recipes are down right irresponsible (and nasty). Have you seen The Lady's Brunch Burger recipe? Bacon and a fried egg, on top of a burger w/ a glazed donut serving as the bun.
I am not making this up.
some of you people are truly pathetic. she isnt forcing food down your throat. eat what YOU like. its so american to blame someone else for harm that you do to yourself. anything can be bad for you if you abuse it. get a life people. in fact some of you should eat as many of these cheese balls as possible. especially if it shortens your lifespan.
