Paula Deen Joins Andrew Zimmern, Robert Irvine & More at Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival, 7/26

Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City welcomes back America's favorite Southern Belle, Paula Deen to the Fourth Annual Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival, commencing today, July 26, with events throughout the weekend. Deen rejoins the festival to share her delicious southern cooking for the second year with the world's most renowned chefs, icons, TV personalities, experts and guests. Her last appearance with the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival was in the summer of 2010. Deen joins arguably one of the strongest lineups to date, including Anne Burrell, Tyler Florence, Nadia G, Robert Irvine, Buddy Valastro and Andrew Zimmern.

Ms.Deen enjoys one of her most successful partnerships with Caesars Entertainment, with her four signature restaurants at various Caesars properties; Paula Deen's Kitchens at Harrah's Joliet, Harrah's Cherokee and Paula Deen Buffets at Harrah's Tunica and Horseshoe Indiana. The event, which sells-out annually and is the largest food and wine festival in the market, takes place across all four Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City casinos and resorts - Caesars, Harrah's Resort, Showboat & Bally's.

"I look forward to spending time at this wonderful festival at the Caesar's properties in Atlantic City, comments Deen. "It's really special for Michael and I to be a part of such as wonderful event and we look forward to bringing some Southern love to all of our friends at the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival."
