Paula Deen's Lady and Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, has closed after more than 25 years. The restaurant became famous for its Southern cuisine, including dishes like fried green tomatoes and Southern fried chicken. Deen gained national attention through her Food Network show, which began after her restaurant caught the eye of a journalist. Although the Lady and Sons continued to attract customers, Deen confirmed the decision to close along with her newer restaurant, the Chicken Box, to focus on other locations of Paula Deen's Family Kitchen.
In downtown Savannah, Ga., the Lady and Sons boasted a menu of local classics like fried green tomatoes, banana pudding and hoecakes, becoming an embodiment of Southern cooking.
There in Savannah, Paula Deen's homestyle Southern menu at the Lady and Sons turned me into a ravenous beast, unmindful of manners, cholesterol, North-South diplomacy and the dropped jaws of my companions.
Deen bid farewell to the Lady and Sons and its longtime fans, announcing that Thursday, July 31st, was the last day of service for The Lady & Sons and The Chicken Box.
The announcement of the restaurant's closing came without warning, especially as the Lady and Sons continued to draw tours and lines of customers.
