Food Network's Jamie Deen and Wife Welcome Son


Food Network personality Jamie Deen and his wife Brooke Terry Deen welcomed their first child on Monday.

Jack Linton Deen was born in Savannah, Ga., hometown of his paternal grandmother, Food Network star and author Paula Deen. The newest member of the culinary clan weighed in 6 lbs., 9oz. and was 19.5 inches long.

"He's got his mama's lips and beautiful olive skin and his daddy's big head," says Jamie, who costars with his brother Bobby Deen on the Food Network's Road Tasted. "He smiled yesterday and has a face full of dimples like his dad. It might be a birth defect, but when he's 16 years old it will work for him."

Grandma Paul is certainly pleased with the new arrival, "Mama signed our wedding registry with 'Are you pregnant yet?'" Deen tells PEOPLE.

"We are truly blessed," says Paula Deen. "This baby is exquisite and perfect."

Jamie jokes that instead of a silver spoon in his mouth, baby Jack was born with a spatula in his hand. In fact, grandmother Deen is already stocking the future chef's kitchen. "I think mom already has a cook set, a little frying pan and mixing bowl for him," says Jamie. "She'll probably teach him to make cornbread first thing."
