Paula started a small catering company called The Bag Lady where she prepared fresh lunches to sell to downtown businesses and doctors' offices. Paula would oftentimes begin work morning to grill chicken for her popular chicken salad. Every Thursday night she cooked late to create her popular Friday barbecue special, Boston Butt. Her local specialties, such as chicken pot pies, barbecue sandwiches, lasagna and banana pudding, caught on with the Savannah business crowd and quickly became the talk of the town.

Called The Lady and Sons, it served breakfast, lunch and dinner in a small space that could seat a maximum of 42 people. In 1995, Paula jumped on the opportunity to relocate to downtown Savannah, where The Lady and Sons has been ever since.
The Lady and Sons has gathered numerous accolades, including one from the food writer for USA Today as having the Most Memorable Meal of the Year for 1999.
Paula's business continues to flourish with a series of successful cookbooks: Paula Deen and Friends: Living It Up, Southern Style, The Lady and Sons Savannah Country Cookbook, The Lady and Sons Too and The Lady and Sons Just Desserts.
