Linda Price+FollowPaula Deen’s restaurant closures spark debatePaula 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 #SouthernFood00Share

VivaciousVixen+FollowBoil or Fry Okra Without the SlimeWash your okra under running water and dry it off with paper towels. Slice off the ends and cut the okra into thin rounds. If you want to avoid the slimy texture, soak the slices in a mix of vinegar and water for about an hour, then dry them completely. For boiling, add the okra to salted boiling water (a squeeze of lemon helps too) and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain well and season as you like. For frying, dip the okra in a beaten egg and milk mixture, then coat with a blend of flour, cornmeal, and spices. Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Both ways are super tasty and keep the okra’s nutrition intact! #okrarecipes #cookinghacks #southernfood #Food #Cooking50Share
