Paula Deen Will Open New $20 Million Restaurant This Summer In Tennessee

She’s back, y’all. Or at least, Paula Deen is back in the food business for the first time since the scandal over her admitted past use of racial slurs that stripped her of most of her lucrative business deals. And she’s not slipping in through the kitchen door quietly. Unless a $20 million restaurant is the definition of “quiet.”

No, instead Deen is re-entering the food foray with a new Tennessee restaurant that has a pretty hefty operating budget, reportsCNNMoney, after snapping up about $75 to $100 million in funding from investors for her new company, Paula Deen Ventures.

I like the use of the term "snapping up".The funding source and pep talk necessary to insure her comeback will soon be under intense scrutiny.Probably even moreso than the original scandal.
