He was born in April 1970 in Albany, Georgia, United States. His real name is Robert Earl Deen. He is the son of famous American chef Paula Deen. He and his chef brother Jamie are co-owners of a restaurant called The Lady and Sons in Savannah, Georgia.

He can be frequently seen on his mother’s cooking shows, Paula’s Home Cooking, and Paula’s Party. Furthermore, he is known for appearing in celebrated cooking shows Holiday Baking Championship, Junk Food Flip, Not My Mama’s Meals, and Spring Baking Championship.

What Happened To Bobby Deen 'Holiday Baking Championship'?

Famous Celebrity chef Bobby Deen was the host of the Holiday Baking Championship for its three seasons.

The show debuted on the Food Network on November 9, 2014, with Bobby serving as its host. For its first three seasons, he was the star host of the show, and the fans liked his position as the host. Along with Holiday Baking Championship, he also hosted its spin-off show, Spring Baking Championship.

His last season as the show's host happened in 2016, and he promoted the show all over his social media accounts. On May 5, 2016, he posted a photo with the show's judges with a funny caption where he mentioned that his co-stars were trying to contain their excitement about working with him again.

Every fan of the show was bummed when they heard that Bobby was not going to be the host of the show for its forthcoming seasons. People have repeatedly raised the question, ‘Why is Bobby Deen not hosting the show’ on different social media handles.

However, they still have not found the answer to the questions, as its already been six years since Jesse Palmer replaced him as the host of the show. 

Beginning in early November and running through late December, The Holiday Baking Championship covered the American Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

There are two rounds in each episode. The bakers must make little desserts with a festive theme for the 'Preliminary Heat,' commonly cookies or mini cakes.

The themes could range from something general like Hanukkah or New Year to something particular like making a Christmas cookie tree or producing sweets motivated by a Christmas song.

The winner of the pre-heat gains an edge in the subsequent round without being informed of it until the second round's topic is revealed. Typically, the benefit changes with each episode.

The second round, known as the 'Main Heat,' gives the competitors more time than the first to produce a sweet that adheres to the episode's holiday theme and is larger. A curveball is frequently thrown midway during the main heat, forcing the bakers to modify or cancel their original preparations.

For instance, they were instructed to bake cookies in addition to their festive bundt cakes in signs of the season. The baker who produced the weakest dish in the "Main Heat" gets eliminated, and the winner moves on to the next episode. The last "Main Heat" competition will feature the three surviving bakers.
