Bobby Deen is an American cook, television personality, and restaurateur who has a net worth of $4 million. Bobby Deen is best known for his work alongside his mother, Paula Deen, and his brother, Jamie Deen. While he initially rose to fame through his appearances on Paula’s Food Network programs, Bobby gradually carved out a name for himself with his own approach to Southern cuisine, emphasizing healthier recipes and balanced lifestyles.

Over the years, Bobby has become a respected figure in food television, cookbook publishing, and Southern hospitality.

Early Life and Family Business

Robert Earl “Bobby” Deen was born on April 28, 1970, in Albany, Georgia. He is the younger son of Paula Deen and Jimmy Deen. After their parents divorced, Bobby and his brother Jamie were raised primarily by Paula, who struggled financially but eventually built a home-based catering business that would become the foundation for the family’s future success.

Bobby played a key role in launching The Bag Lady, Paula’s first catering venture. He and Jamie handled deliveries while Paula prepared the food. Their success led to the opening of The Lady & Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, in 1996, which quickly gained national attention and put the Deen family on the culinary map.

Television Career

Bobby became a familiar face on Food Network thanks to his appearances on his mother’s various programs, including “Paula’s Home Cooking” and “Paula’s Party.” He and Jamie co-hosted “Road Tasted,” a Food Network series in which they traveled the country discovering family-run food businesses.

In 2012, Bobby launched his own show, “Not My Mama’s Meals,” on the Cooking Channel. The concept of the show revolved around modifying Paula’s famously decadent recipes to suit more health-conscious diets. He followed that with appearances on other television programs such as “Holiday Baking Championship” and “Spring Baking Championship,” occasionally stepping in as a guest judge or host.

Books and Other Ventures

Bobby has co-authored several cookbooks with Jamie, including “The Deen Bros. Cookbook: Recipes from the Road” and “Y’all Come Eat.” In 2013, he released his first solo cookbook, “From Mama’s Table to Mine,” which became a New York Times bestseller.

Beyond books and television, Bobby has remained actively involved in The Lady & Sons restaurant and the broader Deen family business empire. He has also pursued acting, with small roles in films such as “In Search of Liberty.”

Real Estate

In 2005, Bobby paid $1 million for a property in Savannah, Georgia, that features a 7,000-square-foot home set on a little over an acre. Today, this home is worth around $1.5 million.
