Paula Deen's son is filling the family's empty Food Network shoes while his mother continues to field the sorts of claims that got her kicked off the channel in the first place. Bobby Deen, host of Not My Mama's Meals on Cooking Channel, apparently entered the heat of battle on Iron Chef America this week. "I'm thinking about my brother boy this morning. He's filming an episode of Iron Chef today! #pressure," his brother Jimmy Deen tweeted yesterday. The reveal prompted an outpouring of social media support for Bobby, including love from the still-chugging "We Support Paula Deen" Facebook page, which now boasts 608,000 "likes." Deen's sons remain two...

Paula Deen's sons Bobby and Jamie have leaped to their mother's defense in her racial-slur scandal, saying she's a good person who's being unjustly maligned. "That word, that horrifying, terrible word that exists and I abhor it coming from any person ... we weren't raised in a home where that word was used," Bobby Deen told CNN's New Day program on Tuesday - referring to the N-word, which Paula Deen has admitted in a legal deposition to having used in the past. "Neither one of our parents ever taught us to be bigoted toward any other person for any reason,...

Paula Deen's been in some hot water lately, with some racist remarks being revealed during a recent deposition. Her contract with the Food Network has not been renewed and TMZ is reporting it's because of how badly her management team handled the apology.
Deen pulled out of her "Today" interview, then filmed two different apology videos, the first of which actually kind of made things worse. Sources close to the Food Network say it had no choice but to fire her.
Her son, Bobby Deen, however, will not be affected by the recent events involving his mother. His show, "Not My Mama's Meals," will run as planned. TMZ jokes that maybe they should change the name, but we think it actually kind of works.
There is no word yet from Fox as to whether Paula's episode of "Masterchef" will also run as planned.

Bobby Deen, son of famed Southern chef Paula Deen, has recently returned from a tour promoting his new book, "From Mama's Table to Mine: Everybody's Favorite Comfort Foods at 350 Calories or Less."
In it, he takes some of the fat- and sugar-laden recipes his mother built her culinary career on and adapts them for the more health-conscious gourmet. It's similar to what he does on his Wednesday Cooking Channel show, "Not My Mama's Meals" (which also airs Sundays on Food Network).
While on the tour, people have been concerned that the effort could cause a mother-son rift.
"They want to know if my mom is mad at me," Deen tells Zap2it, "for what I'm doing to her recipes. I get that question a lot: 'Is your mom mad?' She's not. When I was a kid growing up, my mom was the one who taught me how to cook,...

Weeks ago, Paula Deen announced that she's had Type 2 diabetes for the past three years, a story that captivated the food community and divided it into two fervent camps of Deen supporters and detractors. Yesterday, Huffington Post reporter Naughty But Nice Rob quoted an anonymous source close to the Food Network that indicated Deen has no plans to change her TV cooking until at least 2013:
"Before Paula's announcement the producers of her show, Gordon Elliott's Follow That Productions, had delivered enough shows to run until the end of 2012. None of the shows address her bombshell statement and none of the shows make any attempt to change the way she cooks, even though they obviously knew what was going on when she filmed them."
Another network insider added that Deen's representatives don't plan on re-editing the already-filmed shows or making any changes, saying, "As far as they're concerned, they...
