After tackling hams and diabetes awareness, Paula Deen wants in on the cooking competition business.

The TV chef, who specializes in high-calorie, Southern comfort food, is shopping around a half-hour game show called “Food Chain,” according to reports.

It is said to be a knockoff of a hit Italian TV show called “Cuochi e Fiamme,” in which whole families whip up meals in an effort to win increasing amounts of cash.

Deen will act as host on “Food Chain.”
