Paula Deen fired from Food Network for racist comments

[The Minsky Moment]

The difference between our systems appears to be that the whole of the transcript is admitted into evidence there whereas only the material portions are admitted here.

That is also what usually happens here, although if a lot of the transcript is relevant, the whole thing might be attached.
I noticed that the transcript does not have any confidentiality designation on it, and the testimony that got Deen into trouble does not seem to be the sort of thing that would be covered by a confidentiality order in any case.

This poor, stupid woman needs to take the opportunity of the DOMA ruling to sit down, shut the fuck up, and let the news cycle forget her.

btw I ate at Paula Deen's restaurant in the Harrah's Cherokee Casino the other week.  It actually wasn't that great... nobody I was with was that impressed with it.  Like I ordered a 'lowcountry sampler' and I was expecting a lowcountry boil, but all of the seafood was breaded and deep fried and there was fried cod in it.   I believe Paula would be angry if she knew that's how they served it, since a lowcountry boil is a classic dish from Savannah and it's not even remotely prepared that way.

Heh, I just saw an article that this restaurant (as well as the other Paula Deen restaurants in Harrah's other properties) will be changing its name to 'The Restaurant' until they can figure something else out.  Given the location I'm thinking "Injun Joe's" might work.

"Big Jim Crow's".

Are there any Sambo's still in operation in the south?

[Caliga]

There's only one left and it's in Santa Barbara.  The next time I'm there I'll go out of my way to eat there.

The ones we saw in South Carolina always cracked me up when we went to see my aunt/uncle in Columbia.  I think we ate breakfast there a couple times.

Fortuntely there are still plenty of Bojangles down there for you to crack up at.

My aunt always loved that place.  Every time I see the name I hear her southern voice saying it

I got Bojangle's once. My food was tepid.

Same with me and 'Cracker Barrel' (except it's my wife's grandma's voice).

[Ed Anger]

I could go for some Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings.

[CountDeMoney]

I can always go for CB's breakfast food, especially their big ass country breakfast, but southern fried steak?  Hurl.

[Caliga]

Bro they have these multigrain pancakes with nuts and craisins, served with honey, that are the FREAKING BOMBDIGGITY.

Chicken fried steak with gravy is the food of the saints.
