Celebrity chef and cookbook author Paula Deen is opening a new seafood restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, U.S.A. in June.
Paula Deen’s Creek House will be located at the site of the former restaurant she co-owned – and which became the center of a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against her a few years ago: Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House.
The new restaurant will offer classic fried fish dishes, grilled seafood and Southern favorites such as jambalaya and shrimp and grits. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week, according to Savannah Now.
“I can’t wait to serve up more dishes – but with that coastal, Savannah flair that everyone loves,” Deen said in a statement. Deen’s sons, Jamie and Bobby, will also be involved at the new restaurant.
Paula Deen also operates The Lady and Sons in downtown Savannah; Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen and The Bag Lady in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; and Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which will open soon.
