Paula Deen on Michelle Obama: 'She Probably Ate More Than Any Other Guest I've Ever Had On the Show—She Kept Eating Even During Commercials'

If you want to be safe, just keep your hands back. She'll probably devour anything that isn't nailed down.

When Paula Deen met Michelle Obama, it wasn't exactly the queen of butter versus the first lady of garden greens. Deen, known for her delicious not-so-good-for-you recipes like Gooey Butter Cake, said the two women had more in common than you might expect.

"Well, I did a show with Michelle and I just loved being with her," Deen told Yeas & Nays. "She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show —she kept eating even during commercials." Deen taught Obama how to fry shrimp during a TV segment in September before the 2008 presidential election. "You know what their favorite foods are — it's hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she's no different than the rest of us," Deen said. "We love those kinds of foods, we just know that we can't eat them everyday."

Remember, it cheeseburgers for me, but not for thee. But hey, she's just like us. Heck, she even arranges for photos ops at Target ... just like the rest of us.
