Paula Deen Signed Cookbook GIVE AWAY & Savannah Trip
Paula Deen’s Lady & Sons Restaurant is a Savannah Tradition.
Thanks for being patient while I took a little vacation. 😀 DH and I had a great time in Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC. This is the outside of Paula Deen’s restaurant, Lady & Sons. I love to eat there when we visit Savannah. If you want to eat there you usually need to get in line by 9:30 am to make your reservation. Of course, this depends on season and day.
Rumor has it that the Deen Brothers will soon open a restaurant where Sorry Charlie’s used to be. 😀
We got in line by 9:15am and the line was all the way around the block, past Sorry Charlie’s and around the other side of the building. It’s usually a pretty fun wait because DH and I always meet some cool people in line.
I took this through my windshield, sorry for the road dirt at the top. 😉
Have you ever seen the Southern Live Oak? I love trees and live oaks are among the most beautiful, I think. Here are some lining the streets of Savannah. They are covered with Spanish moss, which really isn’t a moss at all and is in the same family as the pineapple!
Here’s a BEFORE the container ship photo.
One of my favorite things to do is to watch the container ships come down the Savannah River. You can’t really appreciate how huge they are until you see one in person.
And now look!! WOW!
Hey, I bet some of my packages are in there! Wait for me!! 😉
We were so glad the weather was beautiful because that meant…BEACH!! We headed to Hilton Head, SC.
It was perfect weather.
We saw 5 starfish in perfect condition making their way back to sea. (Don’t worry, they weren’t all the way back here. They were close to the water.)
I didn’t forget about you while I was gone. I even brought you something! It’s a “Lady and Sons” cookbook signed by Paula Deen!!
Just leave a comment for a chance to win this awesome cookbook signed by Paula Deen. 🙂 I’ll choose a winner Monday, October 4th, 2010.
AND THE WINNER IS:

Great pictures! It looks like you had a great vacation! Thanks for the chance to win!
I so wanted to eat at her restaurant when we were traveling through Savannah but didn’t know about the 9:30 a.m. reservation line at the time. Would love to win the cookbook. Thanks for offering it.
My daughter and daughter-in-law and I were just in Savannah a couple of months ago; unfortunately, due to problems with my COPD we couldn’t wait in line so we missed out! But, I do cook her recipes and this would be a very special treat – I love her cooking shows on TV and she’s such a special, down-to-earth person! Thanks for the chance to win! And, what a great BEACH SCENE!!!! You guys must have had a great time!

Oh I dream of going to Savannah, I just love the south.
I think I was suppose to be a southern girl really. I lived in the south and enjoyed all the customs.
I have collected all of Paula Deen’s cookbooks and just love to watch.
Looks and sounds like you had a fabulous time although I can’t imagine having to queue in line like you did for a meal lol.

Sounds like a great trip! So pretty. Since you’ve professed your love of container ships, you should head further north on a future break. Our Baltimore Harbor area is loaded with them (and yummy food, too). Paula Deen is such a hoot. Love that she can laugh at herself, even when she dropped her pants in public. Oh, my! Thanks for the chance to win.
Paula’s enthusiasm is sooooo entertaining !!! Gotta love her !

How was the restaurant?
Cpeshman,
The restaurant was GREAT! 🙂 I used to always get the chicken pot pie made with puff pastry, but then once I tried the buffet. Now I can’t say no to the buffet, LOL! It’s great and it keeps me from having to wonder how the other dishes taste! 😉
~Joy~
I would love to win the cookbook. I don’t have a bind it all, but I liked having a comparison when I do buy something.
Thanks for the chance to win Joy! I love Paula Deen!! My MIL is such a huge fan as well! I would give her this for Christmas… 🙂 Your pictures are awesome! Savanah is sooo pretty!
This would be perfect for me since I don’t know how to cook a thing without a recipe! Thanks for the chance. 🙂 Janis
