Paula Deen made her public appearance today at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival on stage at the Grand Tasting Village. She was on stage with her sons Jamie and Bobby, and was also joined by Robert Irvine.An AP story has Paula Deen addressing the crowd with a public apology by saying:
"We have come off of a very hard summer my family and I, my team, my partners. But you know, I have heard on more than one occasion ... that I've never apologized. So if anybody did not hear me apologize, I would like to apologize to those who did not hear me."Later in the Paula's demo, she rode Robert Irvine just like she did back in 2011 at the festival, and claimed she was 'back in the saddle.' Video of that is after the jump.
