Harrah’s Joliet Casino & Hotel celebrates the grand opening of Paula Deen’s Kitchen, the first Paula Deen buffet-style and ala carte restaurant and retail store located outside of the South. Paula Deen’s Kitchen, created with the personal touch of the Queen of Southern Cooking herself, aims to create a memorable dining experience that goes beyond great food, but also provides patrons the feel of a home cooked meal served right from Paula’s dining room. Visitors of the $2.4 million dollar, 14,623 square foot renovated restaurant will dine in a unique space modeled after Colonial Southern Architecture found in Paula’s home town of Savannah, Georgia.
Menu highlights include “build your own” savory skillets and omelets for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, indulge in Paula Deen’s renowned crab cakes, baby back ribs, shrimp and grits and much more. The Saturday and Sunday Brunch menu also includes delectable cocktails, including mimosas and the Georgia Peach. Complete the dining experience with scrumptious treats such as butter rum and chocolate layer cakes.
In addition to enjoying delicious Southern cuisine, guests can also stop by the restaurant’s retail store to pick up some of Paula Deen’s signature items such as aprons, cookbooks, cookware and even pieces from her recently introduced furniture line. Guests will also experience surprise virtual visits from Paula via Satellite from her home in Savannah and have the opportunity to interact with her while shopping for their favorite items.
