Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us 2: Bacon-Wrapped Fried Mac

It's people like Paula Deen who give Southerners a bad name (not to mention karis121491).
I grew up in the south, Alabama, thank you, and yes, we ate fried chicken and grits, but I've never in my life known anyone who cooks like this.
Some of these recipes are simply disgusting, and this is neither traditional nor typical Southern cooking! This cooking show should have a "do not try this at home" disclaimer. Come on people, fried butter?!
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I wish people would lighten up on Paula. She's more an entertainer than anything else, and a darn good one for people who enjoy and appreciate Southern culture and cooking. As I once heard her comment, followed by that charming cackle of hers, "Honey, I'm your cook, not your doctor."

For those who want a healthful emphasis, there's certainly no shortage of personalities, ideas and resources out there (so let's enjoy Paula for what she is). Personal favorite on the healthy side:

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us 2: Bacon-Wrapped Fried Mac

I agree with some, I have to say although it is a heart-attack and stroke waiting to happen; It looks good to me! I wouldn't dare eat it often, but every so often it wouldn't kill anyone. Southerners have survived for years and to old age having eaten fat-filled fried foods; just as health-conscious people have dropped dead at a young age! You never know. I say we must enjoy life also. Try it every so often if wanted, and if not, there's no reason to trash the likes of Paula, the Neeleys, Big Daddy and others as I've heard many times. Stay away from Southern cooking if you don't like it.
