A year after that scandal, for example, she embarked on a national tour called Paula Deen Live!  She also launched the Paula Deen Network on her website after buying her Food Network shows, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2014\/sep\/25\/paula-deen-network-racism-scandal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Guardian<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And in 2015, she launched a podcast called <em>What&#8217;s Cooking with Paula Deen<\/em>a radio show called <em>Cook with Paula Deen<\/em>and a mobile game called <em>Paula Deen&#8217;s Recipe Search<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>He also returned to television <em>Dancing with the stars<\/em> in 2015, finishing ninth alongside professional partner Louis Van Amstel.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Deen released two more shows, <em>Positive Paula<\/em>a cooking show that aired in syndication and <em>Sweet Home Savannah<\/em>a live show that was available on the cable channel then known as EVINE.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Deen hosted a Fox Nation show, <em>At Home with Paula Deen<\/em>made several appearances on the Fox News morning show <em>The fox and friends<\/em>and rated an episode of the Fox cooking show <em>Chef<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, Deen kept his journal, <em>Cooking with Paula Deen<\/em>and releasing several cookbooks including <em>Paula Deen Cuts Fat: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Bright<\/em>, <em>At the Southern Table with Paula Deen<\/em>and <em>Paula Deen&#8217;s Southern Baking: 125 Favorite Recipes From My Savannah Kitchen<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And it also opened restaurants in Alabama, Florida, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, though some of those locations have since closed.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Deen&#8217;s last decade was not without controversy.
