Product Description
People travel from far and wide to taste the fresh and delicious seafood served at Uncle Bubba s Oyster House in Savannah, but now you can stay home and let chef and owner Earl Bubba Hiers treat you to his famous Southern hospitality. His first-ever cookbook tells you how to prepare both the dishes that made his restaurant famous and the home cooking that he and his older sister, Food Network star Paula Deen, grew up eating in their Granny Paul s kitchen.
Learn how to make the finger-lickin , Dixieland favorites like Low Country Boil, Lip-Smackin -Good Chicken Casserole, Salmon and Grits, and Oyster Stew. Right off the restaurant s menu are dishes like BBQ Shrimp, Gumbo, and Shrimp and Grits. And because good cooking seems to run in Bubba s family, recipes like Raised Biscuits, Kathy s Dig Deep Salad, and Cheesy Squash Casserole come straight from the recipe boxes in the authentic Southern kitchens of Bubba s grannies, aunts, and friends.
Desserts are Bubba s favorite, and there s no shortage. Try Aunt Glennis s version of the classic Dixie staple, Red Velvet Cake, or the Lemon Cheese Cake, which true Southerners know is not a cheesecake at all. There s also Chocolate Almond Pie, Butterscotch Pound Cake, Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie, and three recipes for truly scrumptious desserts that are Paula s gift to her baby brother. Plus, along with the recipes, you ll get family stories and photographs that bring Bubba and Paula s Georgia childhood to life.
Like his restaurant, Bubba s recipes are casual perfect for summer cookouts and picnics where paper napkins and plastic forks are just fine, and the card playing and story swapping begins when the Chargrilled Oysters are put on the table and doesn t end until long after the last bite of Georgia Peach Cake is cleaned from the plate. Soon, just like Bubba, you ll be spending long afternoons around the grill, bragging on your barbecue and waiting for the Beer Rolls to come out of the oven.
EARL BUBBA HIERS is the chef and co-owner of Uncle Bubba s Oyster House in Savannah, Georgia. Before joining his sister, Paula Deen, in the restaurant business, he operated a highly successful landscaping and grounds-keeping company in his hometown, Albany, Georgia. In 1999, Bubba got his start when he moved to Savannah to help Paula and her sons, Jamie and Bobby, renovate a historic downtown building as a new home for their popular restaurant, The Lady & Sons. Bubba lives with his family in Savannah.
POLLY POWERS STRAMM is a native of Savannah, Georgia. Her articles have appeared in magazines and regional newspapers and her weekly column, Polly s People, runs in the Morning News. She lives with her family in Savannah.

Bubba's The Best!.......2007-06-13
I've been to Uncle Bubba's Restaurant in Savannah several times...I dare say our family likes to food better there then The Lady and Son's! I see a Food Network show in his future. If they were smart they would make a show with Bubba and Paula's husband Michael, because those two together are a hoot! The cookbook is great with lots of wonderful seafood recipe and side dishes...try the cornbread muffins they are out of this world.

Bubba, The Cowboy Prince.......2007-06-27
What a delightful book for kids and adults! I bought three copies and plan to order more for gifts. The story is really funny, and the illustrations are beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone who loves take-offs on classic fairy tales.
Grade 3 Book Review.......2007-05-03
Bubba the Cowboy Prince
by Helen Ketteman
There once was a Rancher named Bubba who lived with his stepbrothers and stepdaddy, they made him do all the work, that's why he loved ranching. There was a girl named Miz Lurleen, she was the purtiest gal in the county, she sent out invitations for a ball. Soon the day of the ball came, Bubba was as busy as ever. Even though Bubba did all the work he still didn't get to go to the ball. After they left, Bubba heard a voice, it said, "Go to the ball, Bubba." It was his Fairy Godcow, she gave him nice clothes and a Stallion, infact, when he got to the ball he changed back to normal and turned in to a boy in rags and ran off and on his way back his boot fell off so Miz Lurleen went to see who's it was, it was Bubba's, then they got married.
The theme is good versus evil because Bubba is good and his stepbrothers are bad and good is trying to win. The message is don't judge a book by it's cover. The genre is Fairy Tale because clothes can't on someone out of nowhere and a cow can't turn in to a horse. I recommend this book to people who don't think they're beautiful but they are and if you think you're not beautiful you're going to start to act not beautiful because you don't care.
I think Helen Ketteman is very creative for making it a Prince not a Princess and how Bubba turned back in to normal during the ball and how the Fairy God mother was a cow instead, she surprised me. I liked how the Fairy Godcow appeared in a tornado instead of out of no where. I liked how Bubba made most of the action start. I liked how the language was in English because if it wasn't I couldn't of read any of it. I loved the illustrations because it made it look real.
A West Texas view of Cinderella.......2006-11-06
This is an excellently written book that was a delightful twist on the Cinderella story. My students had so much fun with Miz Lurleen and Bubba. This book is a keeper!
Bubba, the Cowboy Prince.......2006-03-19
This book is a wonderful version of the male Cinderella! The story keeps your attention and the illustrations are well drawn! It is a super way to do a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the treasured classic Cinderella!
A Wonderful revision of the classic Cinderella Story!.......2004-05-10
My entire family love to read this book. My mother bought it for my son at age 4. When my husband and I read it to our son and daughter the can't help but to laugh and enjoy the story. You can't help but to read the book with a southern/western draw because it makes the story more interesting. I would strongly recommend this for any family to add to their home library.

Bubba's Shrimp.......2005-10-04
Really good recipes...and good quotes from one of my favorite characters, Forrest Gump
Bubba Gump Rules!.......2003-03-01
I bought this book for my Dad after we had a terrific experience at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant in Charleston, SC. My Dad is very ill and on oxygen, but the trip to the restaurant really perked him up. He loved the dish he had there, and the chef was kind enough to come out of the kitchen and tell Dad how to cook it! Although the book doesn't have that specific recipe, it has dozens of others just as good.
How to please a teenager!.......2001-09-27
We found this book at our local library and our teenage son immediately "locked on" to it. He loves Bubba Gump as well as the recipes in this book. He has taken such an interest in it that he has learned to cook from it. His favorite recipi is "Bubba's Beer-Batter Shrimp." He prepares it in a fondue pot and our entire family reaps the benifits. My husband and I prefer the "Shrimp and Feta Vermicelli." It adds a little adventure to cooking with shrimp. The variety of recipes in the book make it a "sure thing" for shrimp lovers.

Bubba and Trixie.......2001-07-16
I bought this book for my 3-1/2 year old daughter. She absolutely adores this book. I have read it over and over and she just can't get enough! Some books you dread reading over and over, but this one I don't -- I actually enjoy reading it! I like it because it addresses many different issues, from every day fears to dealing with change, to friendship -- all issues that we deal with on a daily basis. I would highly recommend this book, it was awesome!
A good story nicely illustrated.......1999-11-11
Bubba, the caterpillar, fears change. Trixie, a ladybug who can't fly befriends Bubba and helps him become less fearful. Bubba takes Trixie flying after his transformation into a butterfly. The story encapsulates how friends help each other, and learn to feel good about themselves in the process.
My daughter loved this book........1999-10-03
Although my 3 year old loves the pictures and the characters in Bubba and Trixie, I know someday she will understand the meaning behind this wonderful story. I loved the story for it's message of being happy with yourself no matter what you look like or your abilities. An excellent story for those dealing with issues about self esteem.
Friendship between a fearful caterpillar & a spunky ladybug.......1999-01-31
This tale of how a fearful caterpillar overcomes his fear when he is befriended by a flight-challenged ladybug strikes a chord of sympathy with readers.

It's hugs and kisses and froufrou galore when Granddaddy Bubba, Grandma Ruby, Aunt Sapphire, Cousin Arlene, and her dog, Bitsy, arrive in Bubbaville. But Bubba and Beau are NOT enjoying the party. That is, until they round up Arlene and Bitsy and head for their favorite squishy, squashy, muddy spot in the garden where, Sister, the fun finally begins.
Not since the cows came home has anyone captured the thrills, chills, and spills of a surprise visit from the relatives with quite this much wit and humor. So come along for some bodacious family fun in the third book in the hilarious Bubba and Beau series.
Customer Reviews:
Utterly charming!.......2007-09-22
My two toddler sons and I love these delightful little books full of warm family moments and quirky humor that both children and adults can appreciate. I particularly love the easy style of the illustrations that capture so completely the essence of baby/puppyhood! We hope this writer and illustrator team will create more "Bubba and Beau" books.
Another cute Bubba & Beau story!.......2006-08-22
My 3 year old absolutely loves this book. She's crazy about both babies and dogs, and Bubba and Beau Meet the Relatives even introduces an adorable baby GIRL to the readers. Not quite as good as Bubba and Beau, Best Friends, but still a cute book.
Fun for kids & parents!.......2005-04-09
We started by checking out the Bubba and Beau books from the library, but quickly found we read them every day and the books were due back. So, we bought the books, and (as Appelt would put it) honey, it was better than pickled eggs! Meet the Relatives has to be my personal favorite of the 3. Can't help but read it with a slight twang. We enjoy it so much, we're sending the books to cousins to enjoy...

Bubba lives.......2004-11-19
It is difficult to give a real rating for this book as I am still waiting for my first edition signed hardback. However, I have had the privledge of eating ice cream with Elbert and reading some of his rough drafts I know the book will give me lots of entertainment. In the meantime I'm watching the most fascinating birds in the lagoon here on Ambergris Caye and shopping for a good bird identification book. I can tell you the one titled Birds of Guatumaula & Belize is absolutely useless. Miss Harriette
elbert greer rules!.......2004-05-04
I didnt read the book and I and I don't really like birds too much. But I took some scuba classes with this man on two different trips to Belize. And he rocks so his book is great I am sure. BUY THIS BOOK! Quit your job and move to Belize. Trade your car in for a boat. He did.

Birdwatching with Bubba
"A humorous gonzo style of bird watchers guide to Belize" SAN PEDRO SUN
Bubba and I set out to write this book about birds almost 10 years ago. I was a school teacher in the United States at a local collage in Memphis, married and living in midtown near the campus. My wife and I didn't have children, and I thought a dog would be good for our waning relationship. Of course it wasn't, and I wound up with the dog. He did turn out to be a rather smart dog, and, of course, we are the best of friends. He seems to think I had a midlife crises. I tell myself I just got bored, and either way I ended up here, no wife and talking to a confused birddog that thinks ornithology is his calling.
I've made this book as a collection the stories we published in the local newspaper. The stories, 120 total, are printed here as they were published in our "Bird Of The Week" column for the SAN PEDRO SUN.
Belize is not a large country, about the size of Maine, but it has the most varied habitats within its borders you will ever find. These rich habitats support a variety of exotic avifauna that has not yet been accurately numbered. Those who try and count them such as The Belize Audubon Society, come up with figures like 530 species.
The names of the locations are real, and right where the book says they are. It's not a guidebook but if you wish to read it as such, I used all the bars and bartenders' correct names so you won't get lost. We tried to make all the bird information as accurate as possible, but that's not at all what "BIRD WATCHING WITH BUBBA" is about, as you will see.

Bubba and Beau, Best Friends.......2007-05-29
Our school librarian read this to our preschool class. They all loved it, as did I.
cute.......2006-10-06
Bubba is a baby and Beau is a dog. Like the title of the book says they are best friends! They have so much in common. They both are very loud, they don't like baths, they chew on everything and they both crawl on all fours! Join them for all of their adventures!
The illustrations were cute and the cover caught the eye of our 3 and 1 year olds.
It's a quick read. Perfect for the lap sit age!
Bubba & Beau May Become Your Child's New Best Friends.......2004-11-09
Appelt's funny and charming tale of the almost simultaneous birth and budding friendship between a boy named Bubba and a puppy named Beau is heartwarming and enchanting. With no apparent idea that they are different species, these naïve babies" bond over their shared first traumas - i.e., the laundering of their beloved "blankie" and their own first baths. Howard's simple charcoal and watercolor renderings of Bubba and Beau could capture the heart of the most hardened soul. Their eyes, expressions, and movements are all enchanting. Howard's equally charming and amusing renderings of the human and dog parents and the Texas ranch where the story takes place provide the "icing on the cake." The result is a book that oozes with life, warmth, security, friendship, and love. Child judges awarded it the 2002 Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature. To accommodate short attention spans, Appelt has even broken the story up into five well-defined chapters. Readers wanting more of Bubba and Beau will not be disappointed - there are already two sequels, Bubba and Beau Go Night Night and Bubba and Beau Meet the Relatives. Highly recommended for ages 18 months to 4 years.
Parents AND Kids will delight in this book!.......2004-09-19
This book will pull at your heartstrings while give you a sore stomach from all the laughter! My 12 month old loved this book when I returned from the library with it. When I purchased it for him it became his ONLY book to read. It is so delightful that you will not mind reading it over and over again. You might even develop a slight southern twinge to you accent after a few reads!
I'm still Laughing!.......2002-09-25
This is one of the funniest books. While reading it, one of my co-workers laughed so hard her mascara ran down her face. I've used it in pre-school storytime all week and its been very popular with the 3 to 5 year old crowd. The illustrations are priceless and the charaters a riot.

The Rick & Bubba Code: The Two Sexiest Fat Men Alie Unlock the Mysteries of the Universt.......2007-07-08
It is filled with light hearted southern humor and fun. A book that you can pick up if you only have a few minutes, some of the story lines are a quick read. They have taken truths in life and filled them with humor. Men laughing at them selves and honoring their wives. There is a CD that comes in the book, they are sound bits from their radio show. You can listen more then once and laugh each time you hear it.
What a riot.......2007-07-05
Rick and Bubba are a couple of guys after my own heart. I laughed so hard it hurt. But these guys have a serious side too. They are not shy about their faith or their love for their wives and family. They are what every man should be, involved Dads and loving husbands.
Awesome.......2007-07-05
These two are surely the sexiest and funniest fat men alive. Love this one just as much as the the first book ... God, Country and Anything Else We Can Think Of...
Wit, Wisdom and Witness.......2007-06-12
The self-proclaimed "two sexiest fat men alive" return with their second book. And this time they promise to unlock the secrets of the universe.
"The Rick and Bubba Code" is full of humorous observations on the day to day realities of life. As is always apparent on their hit-radio show, Rick and Bubba are two "regular" guys, trying their best every day to be the type of men they need to be in their profesional and personal lives--and like all of us, occasionally falling short. The good news is the guys have a great sense of humor about it and their families either don't mind that they're sharing these stories with the world or gave up being embarassed years ago, figuring there was nothing they could do about it.
The stories and anecedotes contained here are witty and full of the witness that makes Rick and Bubba so great. With Rick and Bubba you have two guys who are authentically and unashamedly living out there walk with Jesus...and they are never afraid to share it. Without getting preachy, the guys are able to share not only funny stories on understanding their wives and families, but also to talk about the most important issues of life.
The book is funny, insightful and very accessible. Fans of the show will eat it up and those who haven't discovered Rick and Bubba yet are in for a treat. And it even includes a "Best of..." CD so you can get the full effect of the guys in their element.
