I wanted to drop in and thank everybody for the great response to our search for a condo name. Thank you everybody! Jamie and his family went down to a wedding in Amelia Island this weekend and I think he is still shaking off the cobwebs from one of their rare nights out with freinds and a few adult beverages! The weather here in Savannah is perfect and I would like to invite y’all down to see it for yourself. The beach is calling your name! I hope to get out on the golf course in the next few days before we head up to New York for our apperence on Good Morning America on Friday morning. We are doing a spot for their summer concert series, John Legend is the musical guest,and we are gonna cook up some ribs out on the grill in Central Park.
Thanks for everything y’all do for our family, I’ll see you in Savannah.
Bobby Deen

HI Bobby and Jamie!
I can’t wait to get to Savannah! My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary with a trip to your fabulous city in a couple of weeks. It will be a long 16 hour drive. I know the top of my sight seeing list is to eat at The Lady and Sons, but what other sights should be a must on our things to see list?
Take Care,
Michele
By Michele Barry on June 02 2009
My family and I would like to thank you for being at the Lady and Sons this last Tuesday. It was a great surprise for us to see you. You were very nice and took a picture with my daughter and show us your son’s superman picture. We were so excited to get our camera developed, but it turn out the picture did not take. Hopefully we will be able to return and meet you again.
Thanks,
Lisette

Hi Bobby!
Great to hear from you!!
My family and I made your homemade peach ice cream last night that you did on your momma’s show over the weekend....it was AWESOME!!!! So close to my grandfathers that my aunt almost cried!
As far as you still being single...DON"T worry about it!!! You have so much love and respect for your mom that if “that right one” hasn’t come around yet then you are better off with the life you have now. Besides you are VERY muched loved by not only the single ladies but us happily married ladies as well. A man like you deserves only the very best in everything that comes your way.
Continue to do “Good things” and have fun in N.Y!
By Andrea on June 02 2009
Hey Bobby!! Wish I was heading to Savannah to the beach but especially to the L and S!! I was there several years ago and can’t wait to come back. By the way can you give me a name of a good golf course that is not too hard? I don’t get to play as often as I would like so I still consider myself a beginner. I will be in NY the week of June 22, sorry I won’t be there to see you guys on GMA. When will you guys be coming back to WV? I met you at the WV State Fair a couple of years ago. We would love to have you back!! Best to the family.

Hi Bobby!
Ha..I said that like I know you!...Just wanted to tell you that I’ve been a fan of your mom’s for many many years and will hopefully get to meet y’all when my family and I take a trip to Savannah sometime in November. We plan on going to the restaurant and trying your uncle’s seafood place as well. Your blog is hilarious- yes, adult beverages at our age just ain’t what they used to be!! Take care and see you on GM America

Hey Bobby Deen!! Good to hear from you again.

Glad you think the weather is great in Savannah, here in Florida it’s hot humid and did I mention hot? lol
Anyway, thanks to you guys for making us a part of your lives, we love ya’ll!!

Golf huh? Ok Bobby - so The Westin Savannah Harbor course or Crosswinds? That is if you are ok playing golf with a girl. I return from San Antonio on Wednesday and could play 18 on Thursday...let me know if you need a golf partner.

Hi Bobby
It’s always nice to hear from you. I
understand “cobwebs.” Haha! I get a few now and then. And I’m glad someone is having good weather. We had storms go through last night that absolutely shredded some of my flower beds.
I’m usually a Today Show girl but I’ll switch to GMA on Friday to watch your spot. And John Legend will be an added bonus.
Take care...T.
By Teresa on June 02 2009
Bobby glad to hear from you for a change and yes that beach is calling my name loud and clear. I had to come down last weekend very impromptu as a result and yes, the weather was perfect. I think that when mid-life crisis hits, you may just find me on a beach with a pina colada and some Jimmy Buffet music (lol). I’m ready to come back already—but it looks like I won’t get back down until the 4th of July weekend.
Have a safe trip to New York. Wish I could sample one of those ribs that you’ll be grilling—they always look delicious. Eat a bite for me.
Hope to see ya soon.
Dawn
By Dawn on June 02 2009
Hey Bobby,
I am really glad that you “took over” this week, you should do it more often. I can definitely hear that beach calling my name all the way here in Mississippi and I would give anything to answer that call but.....my job is calling just a little bit louder. Looking forward to watching y’all on Good Morning America. I grilled ribs this past weekend. They were very good, but could have been better. Maybe I can learn a few tips from y’all. Hope you get to make it to the golf course this week....Have fun. Tell Jamie Hey for me!!!!! THANKS
JOEY
By Joey Elizabeth Burns on June 02 2009
HEY GUYS...one more thing. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP. A friend of mine has been asking me for a recipe for English Pea Salad. And I can’t find one that is similar to what he described. His mother (who passed away) use to make a pea salad that had a white creamy sauce that was not just mayonaise. He also said it has cheese and onions in it as well. It was not your typical pea salad. All of the recipes I have found are made with just mayo. I thought maybe it was sour cream or a combination of the two. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this. My friend keeps asking me if I have found one and I haven’t been able to. I have looked everywhere. Any suggestions would be great. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
JOEY
By Joey Elizabeth Burns on June 02 2009
Hey Bobby!
Good to “hear” from you! I normally don’t like surprises!!!
Looking forward to Friday, love watching you on TV. Was hoping to hear about your birthday. I know....never satisfied, but a girl can hope!
Golf....Skiing...what else do you like to do? It seems like you like to be outside. Another podcast might just answer that.
Hope Jamie and family had a great time at the wedding. Looking forward to his next blog AND yours too!
As always,
Love to you all,
Deb M

Hi Bobby,
It’s great hearing from you!! You should do this more often! Or start your own blog!!!
I sure wish I could come to Savannah this year! But, I can’t. Are weather is terrible! Rains all the time. I think this weekend is going to be nice. High in the upper 70’s.
Good luck with you golf game. I’ll be watching ya GMA on Friday!
Talk y’all later!!
Bye, bye

By Rose on June 03 2009
Hi Bobby,
I was in Savannah last March. Wen went to FL, and the trip wass starting to get boring, when I suggested we drive through Savannah, on our way home. My sister was all for it, and we had a blast. I tried to get a sneak peek of your family, but I didn’t see any of ya’ll.. I hope to hear from you.
Hope you were able to go golfing. I wish I could be in Savannah now too. I am also happy that you are able to be accessable via email.
I just patented a bowl, and its fabulous. I hope you use it someday!

Hey Bobby -
Thanks for taking over for Jamie as he “recovers”, he has to remember he not as young as he used to be !!
I was wondering if you or Jamie could tell me how the restoration of Ellis Square is going and what is going in there- My hubby and I have seen it go from a REALLY BIG hole in the ground during our first visit to Savannah in Aug. 2006, to all of the construction we saw during our 3 other visits in 2007 & 2008, to it being pretty much done except for the final “top” part when we were there in April 2009. We stayed at the new AVIA, which is fabulous, and Becky the concierge said there’s been talk of an entertainment area, bandstand, playground… basically all kinds of ideas. We are coming back in Spring of 2010 and can’t wait to see it completed. We love that area with City Market, Kitchen on the Square (my fave) and close proximity to Broughton St and of course The Lady and Sons. I’m grateful for any info you can share. Have fun in NYC and enjoy your summer !!

By DonnaS on June 03 2009
Hey Bobby!
As a matter of fact, I just finished booking hotel reservations for what will be mine and my best friend’s fourth trip down to Savannah, we absolutely adore the town! The Lady and Sons is always a staple for at least one meal every visit and we’ve had the good fortune to meet your momma and brother, but not you! Maybe our luck will change this time! Take care, see you in August (maybe)!
Haley
By Haley from Michigan on June 03 2009
Hey Bobby, glad you decided to “drop in and take over”. Good to hear from you. It’s cloudy here in Sarasota today and humid but we’re in Florida and it is summer after all.
Got a question for Mr. Phil, the Admin. Went on Paula’s “twitter” or “tweet” or however it’s called. Someone wrote about a new blog or whatever it’s called, I think, Get Cookin’ or something like that. Well, I managed to “find” it but it said to “log in with password.”
Well, I used my email address and I guessed at the password that I usually use but was told it was not good or whatever.
So ---- how do I access this site so I can put my two cents’ worth in if we’re allowed. Now, remember, I’m not computer “savvy” like you so if you could make it simple I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Back to Bobby—Will watch you on GMA this Friday. Thanks for the “heads up”. Enjoy your golf game. I tried it once but I was the PITTS. HA. Have fun in New York. I have friends up there and they say it’s cool and cloudy. Oh well. Could be worse.
HUGS, JANN
By Jann on June 03 2009
Hi!
We’ll be down on the week of the 16th. Can’t wait. Booked a stay on Tybee and taking the hubby and daughters out on Miss. Judys charter. Good Times. Can’t wait to stop by and do some shopping!! Love the Paula Deen store inside the restaurant… & as always am looking forward to Uncle Bubbas (best shrimp and grits ever). Hope this Georgia weather is good to us!!
Cheers!
Erika
By Erika on June 03 2009
Hey Bobby! It is so nice to hear from you again! I would love one day at the beach. I never get the chance to go anywhere because there is too much going on. Hey, Bobby, can you make a quick visit over to NJ after GMA? Well, I hope to hear from you soon! I love you!

By Lisa Crawford on June 03 2009
Hey Bobby D,
A trip to Savannah sounds like a good idea. I would love to sit on the beach at Tybee and read a book. I could use the R & R and escape for a while. I can only dream about it for now because I’m saving for my trip to Ireland next Spring.
Have fun in New York. It looks like it might rain so I hope you and Jamie take your rain jackets. I’ll catch the video on the GMA website on Saturday.
Have a good week Bobby, Jamie, and fellow bloggers
By Sonya on June 03 2009
Hey Jamie and Bobby,
FYI, I don’t know if anyone has made you aware of this but on Facebook there is a “Fans of Jamie and Bobby Dean” site.
Have a great week!!!!
By Andrea on June 03 2009
Kerry, it’s about a 4 hour drive from Savannah to Myrtle Beach.
By Jan from South Carolina on June 04 2009
Hey Bobby ~
Holding down the fort - excellent.
Savannah weather - a big bird mentioned that it’s a bit hot and steamy - and rainy! We are bone dry. The Mississippi is very low right now.
It’s suppose to rain all next week. Yeehaw!
I was going to write this on an earlier blog. I had a thought (uh-oh), something to think about while you are looking for that future lady.
Here is a good litmus test: If she is willing, with out complaint, to clean the Lady and Sons. She is a good candidate. OMG, she did not say that. Yes, I did. She probably will never have to clean it. However, rolling up your selves and getting dirty is part of being self-employed. Someone willing to mess up her manicure - is for real.
Unsolicited advice, true, but something to ponder.
It’s Thursday, only 3 days left of elementary school. I can’t wait! I need a vacation.
Have a fantastic weekend - Bobby, Jamie, Phil, Lisa and Michael. Have we figured out what Michael does? I won’t pick on him, he is super nice.
Take care -
Lisa
By Lisa of Minneapolis on June 04 2009
Hey Bobby Deen!!!
Can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing you cook ribs in the am with Jamie!
Hope you have fun and that they don’t rush you! The GMA people are always in a hurry!
Can’t wait to hear all about it next week.
Love the photos of “Y’all Come Inn”! Really will try to get there to see it in person and stay awhile!
Happy weekend to you all.
Love,
Deb M

Hi Bobby,
Just wanted to say you looked great on GMA. I wanted to see you in Savannah last year, but you all must have been gone! :( Hope I have the chance to get back to savannah again. IT was such a beautiful city.
Angie
By Angela Warner on June 05 2009
I hope we have time to come to Savannah while visiting Charleston this fall! Two of my favorite cities! Tybee Island was beautiful but i was surprised at how quiet it was in September. We didnt have enough time on our last trip to see and do everything we wanted so hopefully we can get there again to finish our sightseeing! We did get to eat at The Lady and Sons! FANTASTIC!!!
By Tara from PA on June 05 2009
ARGH!!!!!
I still can’t get signed up on
the new forum!!!!!
Keep getting “oops” and the confirmation number is wrong.
Phil/ Lisa can you help me? I know I am doing something wrong but I can be taught!!!!!
HELP!
Deb M
By Deb M on June 05 2009
Jamie,
You look wonderful! I bet you looked great in your tux! You and Bobby sure were fun to watch on GMA. I really wish they would give you more time. Would LOVE you to be back on my TV, any chance that you both will come back on TV?
Can’t wait to read your next blog.
Once I get the hang of it, I think I will love the new site, “Get Cookin”. Will you and Bobby be there as well with comments and “stuff”? Hope so.
Till Tuesday.
Love ya,
Deb M
By Deb M on June 07 2009
Hi Jamie, My husband and I are going to be in Savannah this weekend. Do you know if you and Bobby might be in the rest.on Friday are Sat. Are maybe your mom. Would love to see you.

Hi Bobby and Jamie
I first wanted to say that I love yall and your momma. Secondly in February I will be heading up there with some of my family for my 21st birthday and was wondering if yall had any opinions on some nice little bars or pubs that we could try when we go up there. Well yall have a great day and hopefully I’ll see yall when we go up there have a great day.
Jaci.
By jaci keen on June 07 2009
Bobby and Jamie,
I watched GMA Friday morning and you both made me laugh...too funny! Wish you had more time but you did a really good job with the time you were given and dealing with the rain! Hope you guys had the chance to watch the concert...John Legend is really good!
Bobby…
It’s always nice to ‘see’ you on the blog! So...how was your golf game? I’m not much of a golfer. I tried playing a few times and I even took a class back in college but tennis is more my thing. (smile) Watched Best Dishes...I definitely have to try the peach ice cream! The Blackberry Coffee Cake from ‘Y’all Come Eat’ has become my ‘go to’ dessert...it’s so good!! I’ve tried using other types of fruit if I’m out of blackberries but the blackberries are my favorite!
Right now, a vacation to Savannah and to stay at the beautiful ‘Y’all Come Inn’ sounds great but hopefully in the near future...maybe at the next book signing! (smile)
Enjoy your day guys!
Take care!!!
By Marina on June 08 2009
My husband and I are thinking (seriously) of moving to Savannah within the next year. He is a chef and I work for the government. My agency has an office in Savannah so it would be perfect all the way around. Any tips or advice please feel free to offer it up. BTW....soooo love you guys and your mother. You can always judge the character of a man by the way he treats his mama. You guys obviously ROCK!!!
Keep up the great work.
