I am so lucky to get to do what I do every day. As a magazine editor, I get to do a lot of cool stuff most people only dream of — like meeting Paula Deen. The media company I work for owns her Cooking with Paula Deen magazine, and I helped produce one of our biggest videos to date: an intimate one-on-one interview with Paula and our publisher, Phyllis Hoffman DePiano.
Now I know the lady is controversial (I’m guilty of the butter and oil jokes, too), but if she isn’t the epitome of a Southern gal, then I don’t know what is. She was cordial, funny, uncensored and downright humble. Take a peek at part one of our interview here, and make sure to tune into part two next week.
