Three years after Paula Deen's racism scandal left her without a Food Network show, she returned to viewers homes with an appearance on Dancing With the Stars and later a new special called Sweet Home Savannah. Now, another year later, she's making a different kind of comeback by opening a new restaurant. The celebrity chef announced the new venture — called Paula Deen's Creek House — in a Facebook post this afternoon, explaining that the restaurant is "nestled on the water" of Turner Creek in Savannah, GA and will serve "a mix of seafood favorites and Southern classics." Those traditional dishes include chargrilled oysters, fried catfish, shrimp boils, crab gumbo, and crab cakes. Of course, Paula dedicated a portion of the menu to her sons' barbecue, offering baby back ribs, pulled pork tacos, and a sirloin that's been marinated in the Deen brothers' signature sauce. There's also a full list of cocktails like mason jar margaritas, Savannah-style spiked lemonade, and a Moscow mule slushie—plus plenty of wine by the glass and both local craft and domestic beers. Creek House Seafood & Grill is slated to debut in June and will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Additional details are scarce, but you can sign up for email updates on the restaurant's website or follow its Facebook page.In the meantime, here's a first look at the menu:
