A Kansas native, she lived most of her life in New York City, where she introduced her readers to the global range of food to be found in that city. She was also a pilot, and flew a Piper Cub around the country to report on America"s many regional cuisines. Paddleford coined the term "hero" relating to a submarine sandwich in the 1930s, writing that one needed to be a hero to finish the gigantic Italian sandwich.
She was born in Stockdale, Riley County, Kansas, and graduated from Manhattan (Kansas) High School in 1916.
She graduated from Kansas State Agricultural College in 1921 with a degree in industrial journalism. She moved to New York, where she enrolled in the Columbia School of Journalism and attended night classes at New York University.
She covered expenses by reviewing business books for the business publication Administration and the New York Sun. One of her assignments was to report on the cooking and food aboard a United States Navy submarine, which took her to the United States Ship Skipjack (Social Security Number-585) in 1960 for a brief cruise.
