Paula Deen Wire

Bon Appetit EIC Adam Rapoport breaks his legendary silence on the "tabloid fodder" that is the sagas of Paula Deen and Nigella Lawson: "The issue with Nigella or Paula Deen... is the difference between how a celebrity chef presents themselves on the page or on the screen, and what they say or do in public. People don't like to be deceived. Paula Deen was like your mom or aunt." If your mom had a multi-million dollar pharma deal for diabetes drugs and puts bananas in salads, then sure. [NYT]
