Food Network Maraton: 5-5:30, Paula's Home Cooking

How fitting that my final Food Network show is somewhat regional; Paula Deen is a Savannah chef and therefore a beautiful metaphor for the end of my Georgia experience. Too bad her food looks disgusting.To be fair, I'm burnt out, maybe this food isn't disgusting. But Beef Wellington with oyster pate looks disgusting to me right now. So does Shrimp Pie.Paula's accent is slightly endearing; she feels like the real deal. I liked the episode I saw once where she made beer can chicken, shoving a beer can in a chicken's cavity and cooking it on a grill. I also like how she rides a motorcycle and has biker friends. I just don't like her food.That pretty much complete's the spectrum, doesn't it?
