Paula Deen: Unvegan Hero

Just a disclaimer before the real entry.  Apparently our country is experiencing a sort of bacon obsession.  Almost every time I try to profile a prolific Unvegan Hero, they seem to have some sort of bacon fixation.  This is in no way a bad thing, but I would like to shed light on more of a variety of meats.  I just wanted to apologize in advance for so many baconated posts and will do my best to find more of a variety of Unvegan Heroes in the future.  On to the entry.

I’ve never been much of a Food Network watcher because I’d usually rather be eating food than watching someone make food and eat it in front of me without offering any of it to.  If you think about it, it’s pretty rude.  That may change soon, though.

I recently stumbled across Paula Deen, one of the Food Network personalities.  I’m not sure what she typically makes, but in the clip above she makes deep-fried, bacon-wrapped mac and cheese.  It’s amazing watching her go through all the steps, just knowing that the end product has to be amazing.  From the looks of it, it’s a powerful combination of flavors that would make any unvegan proud.

For finding a way to enhance macaroni and cheese with meat, Paula Deen, you are a true Unvegan Hero.
