"Tasty. . . . [Andrews is] the queen of sass, and revenge is her
favorite ingredient." -- Daytona Beach News-Journal
Battling TV chefs--a handsome Georgia redneck with a show called
"Vittles" and a young professional woman with a cheating boyfriend, bad
dye job, and overinvolved family--find themselves competing for a
coveted weekly time slot on national television in Mary Kay Andrews's
delightful New York Times bestseller Deep Dish.
After years of hard work, Gina Foxton, chef extraordinaire andformer
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.
