The Food Network Should Just Move Their Headquarters Here

Following in the footsteps of Alton Brown, The Neelys and the Deen Boys, The Queen Deen is on her way to Nashville to help kick off the holidays. That's right, Ms. Paula will be joining Montgomery Gentry, Louise Mandrell, Jeannie and Craig Schulz (wife and son of the late, legendary Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz),The Radio City Rockettes and the TSU Marching Band to flip the switch at the Gaylord Opryland Resort to illuminate their 2 million-plus holiday lights.

Now I know that lineup sounds like it was put together by the same people who developed the Jack in the Box menu, but it's not as incongruous as it first appears. Louise Mandrell will be the host of Gaylord's "Joy to the World" Christmas dinner and show and the Schulzes will be there to kick off the opening of the Peanuts "Ice" exhibit at the resort. TSU's band and The Rockettes are always worth traveling to see, and Montgomery Gentry...well, maybe they're just there to eat whatever Paula cooks.

If you're an avid celebrity-watcher and have properly steeled yourself for the onrushing holidays, point your car in the direction of Gaylord on Thursday, Nov. 19 in time to get there by 5:30. On second thought, maybe you'd better just leave your car in the driveway. That may be as close as you can park.

When La Deen appeared at TPAC on her "I Love Me" tour, she brought a drone with her to do the actual cooking. Paula sat on the couch pimping for Smithfield and making googly eyes at her on stage security escort.

There are so many horrifying things in this post. Suffice it to say that I will be nowhere in the vicinity of this event.
ICE...ugh.

I have it on authority that the Ice sculptures will be completely vegan.
