The ladies decided to return to Savanna to go to the Paula Deen restaurant for a gastronomic experience. The pic above and below are the restaurant street advertisement. The lady and sons sign is the original restaurant and is still run by Paula and both of her sons.

 We were contemplating  the menus while Marion decided to get some pics. The interior was a little anti-climatic but the food that followed was really good. I am gaining weight and I think I am really gonna feel this trip as well as see it.

 This lady is a hostess in the restaurant. She is one of Deens oldest friends and employee. Her work name is Jelly Roll, I kid you not. That is what is on her name tag. So I guess you can assume what she used to make as one of the food preparers here. She was a real sweetheart.

 Karen ordered a chicken pot pie and received this surprise. She said it was the best she ever ate. She said that the top crust was like a light cake. It tasted like no other she has had.

 Here is Marion with her cardboard dudette. Obviously Paula was not there but that didn't stop my sweetie.

 We stopped by their version of the river walk. It looked like a old warehouse area  on the river front they converted into shops and eateries. Over my shoulder is a river.

 One of the shops we stopped in was a fudge and candy factory where as you can see below is salt water taffy being pulled on a machine. This flavor is banana.

After the taffy cools it is placed on this machine with the cone looking rollers. This machine stretches out the taffy and rolls it at the same time. At the left side of the machine it cuts, wraps, and separates the finished candy then drops it into a conveyer.

 The conveyer then drops it into buckets that move up this tower and again is deposited on another conveyer that goes over the customers heads and slides it into the yellow candy wheel where you can pick out your favorite flavor.

Well it was time to go back to the park and prepare to move to North Carolina tomorrow.
