Paula Dean came up last night on the pub crawl I was on. One of the pubs had been the old location of Lady & Sons, so our guide made a crack regarding "scraping the butter buildup off the walls during the renovation."
Then she glanced around furtively and said, "I hope nobody heard that. She's a powerful lady in this town. She can make me disappear."
So Paula Dean apparently wields as much power in Savannah as a mafia don.
