Details released for Paula Deen's Raleigh book signing

Bookmark and Share

I just got the details on Food Network star Paula Deen's book signing in Raleigh on Oct. 14 at Quail Ridge Books. The bookstore is located on Wade Ave, near Whole Foods.

The event will start at 6 p.m. and last for 2 hours. She is signing copies of her new book, "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible," which goes on sale Oct. 11 for $26.99.

Per usual with these big-name food celebrities, there is a list of rules:

 

  • You must buy a copy of the book at the bookstore to get a signing line ticket.
  • Deen will not be signing any of her other books.
  • You cannot reserve books to be signed if you cannot be present at the book signing.
  • The signing will only last two hours or she will only sign 600 books, whichever comes first.
  • She will not personalize her signing of the book, sign any memorabilia or pose for photos. (There will be a designated photo area to pause briefly to take a photo.)

If you missed the recent fighting words between Anthony Bourdain and Paula Deen, go HERE and HERE to read their back and forth.

Bourdain's comments

Yes, I totally agree too. Bourdain's right about Paula and Fieri and the others. The only thing Paula is concerned about feeding is her pocket and her family's pockets. She has become a joke compared to her persona early on.  

Bourdain is Right

I will never forget seeing her serve President Carter a dish made with canned biscuits on one of her pathetic Food Network shows.  Bourdain is definitely right about her; everything he said about Food Network is absolutely spot on.
