ATLANTA -- Celebrity chef Paula Deen got an unexpected serving of ham -- across her face.
The Food Network star was helping unload 25,000 pounds of donated meat for an Atlanta food bank on Monday when someone threw one of the hams like a football and accidentally smacked her.
Deen tells WGCL-TV: ''I thought it busted my lip, but it didn't.''
Though smiles and laughter, Deen added: ''I'm OK. It just knocked me for a little bit.''
She says she was unloading hams when she tossed one to a man, who then said ''Back at 'ya.'' Thinking he meant it only as a sentiment, she turned around to get another ham when the errant swine came at her.
''He really meant, 'Back at 'ya.'''
