Paula Deen will be grand marshal of Food City 250

Published 08/13/2008 By Staff report
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Well-known cooking sensation Paula Deen has been named the grand marshal of the Aug. 22 Food City 250.
Paula’s husband, Michael Groover, will serve as honorary starter for the race, the 19th consecutive Nationwide event at Bristol Motor Speedway to draw a crowd in excess of 100,000.
Deen’s career began with a simple bag lunch delivery and catering service called The Bag Lady. Using the lessons she learned from her Grandmother Paul, with the help of her sons, she quickly turned the business into a thriving full-service restaurant — The Lady & Sons. She later went on to publish numerous cookbooks, star in two Food Network cooking shows, open another restaurant called Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House with her brother, and launch a successful magazine — Cooking with Paula Deen.
