Bobby Deen is the author with his brother Jamie of four cookbooks. He has worked with his famous mother, Paula Deen, for a number of years and with her and his brother has created the Deen brand so that today it is one of the most recognizable in the culinary community.
Bobby and Jamie wrote The Deen Bros. Cookbook—Recipes from the Road, which was followed by Y’all Come Eat and Take It Easy.
The brothers' most recent book is The Dean Bros. Get Fired Up -- scheduled for publication in the spring of 2011.
Bobby appeared on Paula’s television show before launching his own program with his brother called Road Tasted. The two also have plans to publish stand-alone magazines that focus on tailgating, grilling and barbecue, and other Southern food traditions. The television show and magazines are aimed at a younger, more male audience than Paula’s.
Bobby is the younger of Paula’s two sons and when he was a teenager, helped her run her home-based meal delivery business called The Bag Lady. Eventually, he joined older brother Jamie in the running of The Lady and Sons. The restaurant is in Savannah, Georgia.
