The SoBEWFF kicked off today, with glitzy food- and chef-driven events running through Sunday. While eager fans get ready to trek to Miami for grub, Clean Plate Charlie is prepping you with everything you need to know about the fest.
We'll start off the fun after the jump with a revealing two-part video of Paula Deen from the 2009 festival. It was a hot, January day, when the Southern Fried Lady herself decided to let her backside go al fresco...
Oh Paula, even when faced with humiliation in front of hundreds (thousands now on the web), you're still a lady. Er, at least you were before you continued with this:
I lol'd. Seriously, though, at least she has a great sense of humor. That's my kind of class.
Check out the following links for some great info on the fest:
