Southern cook Paula Deen is not in Boston this weekend. The Food Network personality was supposed to stop by the Greater Boston Food Bank to make a donation and then cook live for an audience at the Bank of America Pavilion tonight, but yesterday afternoon she postponed her trip because of an illness. Deen had told us earlier in the week that this would be her first trip to Boston. "This will be the most northern I've ever been," an excited Deen told us by phone in her sweet southern drawl. "I love the Boston accent. You pahk your caah. I love that!" We hope she reschedules the gigs so that she can hear our gorgeous accents in person.
Oddly enough, Deen was expected to dine while in town at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. That's not even a local chain restaurant.
