Deep Dish

A Novel

By: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrated by: Julia Gibson

""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.

Enchanting and Real

I love reading Mary Kay Andrews being I am familiar with her locations she wrote about. It’s like getting lost but still so close to home.

Meh

If I didn't know this was Mary Kay Andrews I would never suspect it was written by her. Not her usual wit or humor very predictable

Story filled with southern charm and wit

Mary Kay Andrews delivers a book weaved with southern charm and wit. Tate, Gina and Moonpie are delightful characters.

Ok Book

It kept me entertained for the most part. There were a couple times where I found my mind drifting elsewhere. Would I recommend this book? No probably not. It wasn't quite good enough.

Loved the story!!!

Fabulous story! I just read this book by MKA and actually loved that it was from 2008. How lovely!! My family just visited the Georgia barrier islands this weekend and it was so fun to hear some familiar things from our travels! Her character development was fabulous and character evolution in “Reggie” was great. Recommend!

If you like cooking shows

I really enjoyed listening and felt like I was watching a cooking show. Sweet love story too.

likable characters entertaining storyline. you will enjoy it. my second book from this author. yep.

It was entertaining.

This book was entertaining. It held my interest and I liked the plot. It wasn't a great book but was worth reading. I was happy that there was no explicit sex or foul language. It had a happy ending. .

Fun summer read

Lighthearted and enjoyable read that is Mary Kay Andrews style. Great characters and well thought out story.

predictable, but good

I liked the book overall, I just couldn't stand the country talk. it was too forced.
