Publisher Description
"Tasty. . . . [Andrews is] the queen of sass, and revenge is her favorite ingredient.” — Daytona Beach News-Journal
Battling TV chefs find themselves competing for a coveted weekly time slot on national television in Mary Kay Andrews’s delightful and hilarious New York Times bestseller, Deep Dish.
After years of hard work, Gina Foxton, chef extraordinaire and former runner-up Miss Teen Vidalia Onion, is hosting her own show, Fresh Start, on local Georgia public television. She's also dating the producer. But when Fresh goes bad, and she catches her boyfriend in flagrante delicto with the boss's wife, Gina decides it's time to pursue bigger dreams. Namely, a gig on national television.
Gina knows she's destined to be the Cooking Channel's next superstar. But the execs also have their eyes on Tate Moody, Mr. "Kill It and Grill It" himself, host of the hunting-and-fishing cooking show Vittles. The ultimate man's man, Tate's a tasty side of beef with a large, swooning female fan base. Gina's loyal devotees consist of her free-spirit college dropout sister and her mother—who calls every single day.
But when the smoke clears there can only be one TV chef standing as Gina and Tate get ready for the cook-off of their lives.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Andrews (Savannah Breeze; Hissy Fit) delivers a trademark romance set in her native Deep South. Gina Foxton is a 30-year-old chef with a health-conscious approach to classic Southern fare whose public access cooking show gets canceled when the show's big sponsor pulls out after finding the show's producer (and Gina's boyfriend) in bed with his wife. So news that the Cooking Channel is looking to add a new show is a welcome development. The producers are also interested in another local cooking show called Vittles, hosted by "Kill It and Grill It" Tate Moody. The competition between Gina and Tate ramps up when the network decides to turn their competition into a reality show. The close quarters and competition create the right atmosphere for the two chefs to fall in love, though things never get too racy. Andrews takes a long time to get the romance off the ground, but when it starts moving, it moves fast. Andrews's readership will eat this one up.

Deep dish
It's a great summer read"
Fun read!!
Deep Dish is a clever and funny book by Mary Kay Andrews, about several people working on two competing cooking shows in Atlanta. Which show will impress the New York reps, and then go on to make it nationally? Will rival hosts Gina and Tate learn to get along? Will Gina reconcile with her untrustworthy ex, or find a new and more compatible relationship based on love and respect? Don't miss out on the fun. I have loved this lady's writing since she was an AJC reporter, and I can't wait to read another of her books!
Delightful and delicious!
Loved this book! Very entertaining and fun to read. Thanks for the recipes, but would have loved the shrimp salad recipe, if there truly was one! Will continue to read Mary Kay's books.
