Paula Deen’s sudden shutdown of her Savannah and Georgia restaurants has reignited heated conversations about her legacy. Many are calling it karma after old allegations resurfaced that she built her Southern food empire on recipes taken from Black chef Dora Charles, who worked for decades in Deen’s kitchen with little recognition or fair pay. The closures hit hard for staff, who reportedly weren’t even told before the doors closed. For a lot of folks, this feels like long-overdue justice for the Black cooks whose creativity powered Deen’s rise. What do you think—does this mark the end of an era, or is it just desserts? #Business #PaulaDeen #SouthernFood
