I've seen her make that cake on TV- just put me in the middle and I'll eat my way out!
BTW, her last name is DEEN. Two e's.
And to confuse it further, her first husband, father of her 2 buys, is Jimmy Deen. Not the Jimmy Dean of sausage fame.
She had Jimmy Deen, her ex, on her show one night and apparently they get along fine.
But one of my coworkers has eaten at her restaurant in Savannah (I think?), and LOVES the butter cake. He has a sideline bakery business out of his home. Paula would be proud of his cheesecake - he should sell it by the pound. Delicious!
Now send me some Elgin sausage! A real brisket would be good.... oh heck, just send the whole HEB!
Ah-HA! I would if I could. Are you tired of the mustard based sauces and the BBQ pork? My sister lived there for a while and that's what she complained about.
There is actually a German lady in Thrall that makes the worlds best sausage but only during the fall/winter months. We just discovered it last year and it puts Elgin's to shame! ......and it's getting to be Fall!
