Paula Deen Thanks Dallas Supporters
An emotional day in Downtown Dallas on Saturday for celebrity chef Paula Deen. She faced fans at the Metro Cooking Show at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

More than a thousand fellow cooking enthusiasts gave Deen a standing ovation as she took to the stage in Dallas. “I miss y’all too,” Deen said.
It's her second show this week after she stepped out of hiding in Houston last Saturday. This summer, the disgraced chef admitted to using a racial slur nearly three decades ago, after it surfaced in court documents. In August, lawyers signed a deal to drop a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit against Deen.
In Dallas, she thanked her supporters who paid as much as $400 to see her.
“I'm really looking forward to the future," Deen said. "It's good to be back at work... just thinking about the future, I’m going to get back out there and continue to do what I love to do… and that's making fun of my colored folk cooking.”
