How paula deen had relationship with Food Network?
Paula Deen (born Paula Ann Hiers, on January 19, 1947) is an American cook, restaurateur, and Emmy Award-winning television personality. Deen’s relationship with Food Network began in 1999, when her friend Erin Lewis introduced her to Gordon Elliott, who then introduced her to her current agent, Barry Weiner. Elliott took her through the city for a series of Doorknock Dinners episodes. She also appeared on Ready, Set, Cook!. Deen was invited to shoot a pilot named Afternoon Tea in early 2001. The network liked it, but didn’t yet have a place for her. The network eventually gave Deen her own show, Paula’s Home Cooking, which premiered in November 2002. Since then, Deen has been given two more shows, “Paula’s Party” and “Paula’s Best Dishes.” Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
