About this audiobook
“Deep Dish is one delicious read. Mary Kay Andrews has cooked up a tale y’all will savor to the last bite. ” — Paula Deen
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.
The incomparable Mary Kay offers heaping portions of humor, heart, and sass that fans of Fannie Flagg, Jennifer Crusie, Adriana Trigiani, Emily Giffin, and the Sweet Potato Queens simply will not be able to resist, as the winner-take-all cooking competition gets intense, especially when love ups the ante.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely amazing book....found it whilst searching for books as part of a reading challenge I'm taking part in and it fitted perfectly....the storyline is great and there were a lot of laugh out loud moments in there as well as the surprising love story hidden in amongst the tale
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5cute
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Light and sweet story, I didn't find it cliché or boring despite is a pretty straight forward love story.
I love the accent - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I admit I only listened to one third of it. It could have picked up a bit more. As others have said I would have enjoyed more character building. I felt mildly connected to the characters. It was a good premise but not elaborate enough in my option.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5this did not do it for me. i was bored. i skimmed to get to the end. it had neat recipes in the back. it had a great story concept but the characters just did not pull me in. i was not rooting for them to fall for each other or to be successful on tv.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Deep Dish is a poorly written book. I could not complete the book. This is a book that plays on stereotypes and not even well. No research went into how the TV business works. Consequently, Deep Dish receives only two stars in this review. Not recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story starts out a little slow and I am not a fan of Tate but of course, that's intended. I'm sure. It does turn out to be sassy and fun which is exactly why sometimes you just need a little Mary Kay Andrews in your day. She never steers me wrong and when my day is long and hard there is nothing like her to change my outlook. :)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cute romance story, light-hearted, which was just wanted I needed. Predictable storyline.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5First read by this author. Funny and fun, light and chaotic all the same. Southern writer.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gina and Tate both have Southern Style Cooking Shows that are up moving to The Cooking Channel. The network decides that the best way to see who gets the show is to do a competition called Food Fight on a remote island to see who the best cook is.
This was a cute, light, fluffy read which is just what I needed right now. I liked watching the sparks fly between Regina and Tate and while I pretty much always knew what the end result was going to be, I laughed so much that I didn't really mind so much. There are a lot of lovable characters including D'John, Lisa and Zeke and some slightly despicable characters like Scott. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Entertaining. Florida/Georgia based. Doesn't try to write the inevitably awkward sex scene.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Entertaining. Florida/Georgia based. Doesn't try to write the inevitably awkward sex scene.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have all of Mary Kay Andrews’ books; however, I missed this one along the way. Listened to the audio version which the narrator did a good job. Gina is the host of a local cooking show in Atlanta and her sponsor drops her and finds out her producer (boyfriend) is sleeping with the sponsor’s wife.
If you enjoy southern women, some heavy competition, food fights, cooking and some romance with some wit and charm you will enjoy! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Started off slow, the middle was Ok and the food content was interesting the ending felt rushed. Not sure how I finished it. I am saddened by this because I love books based around food, I was really looking forward to this read but was highly disappointed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5time for some fun with Mary Kay!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked this book, it was lively and the pacing was good, but I would have liked to see more one-on-one between the hero and heroine, to make the falling in love aspect a little more believable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good book from Mary Kay Andrews, she has yet to disappoint me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mary Kay Andrews' books do adhere to a formula -- feisty Southern girl who's passionate about her work encounters trouble with both men and work, which is satisfactorily resolved by the end of the book. But she does it so well! In Deep Dish, Gina, a young woman with a regionally popular public tv cooking show, gets her big chance at national stardom on "The Cooking Channel." The catch is, she must best hunky good ol' boy Tate Moody, also a cooking show host, in a "Survivor"-style contest held on Eutaw Island (a barrier island off the Georgia coast). Engaging characters, plenty of humor and a strong sense of place make this a very enjoyable book for anyone (well, probably mostly women) tired of gloom and doom or mystery and mayhem.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute story, well narrated.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was ok, it took me sometime to get into it and the cooking was very good but I so enjoyed Savannah Breeze much more.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Perfect book for a quiet sick day. Reminded me a little of Hiassen in tone and subject.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was way more chick lit than southern humor.I didn't like this one near as much as I liked Savannah Breeze.2 Stars
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is a silly little predictable chick lit read. The characters are nothing new, the story is nothing new, and my one hope for the book (good food talk) didn't even happen. The cooking sections are blase and not something that a book should be based on.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just like southern cooking, this novel serves up warmth, spice and a hint of sweetness as Gina Foxton from the TV show Fresh Start goes up against Tate Moody of the show Vittles. They are taken to an island off the coast of Georgia for the ultimate “Food Fight” and the prize of a cooking show on the network station The Cooking Channel. And not all the heat is in the kitchen as they face the challenges thrown their way. Add a loveable dog named Moonpie and you have all the fixings for a delightful read and a craving for bourbon pecan pie.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought this was a cute foodie/chick lit book. I would have liked a little more development between the two main characters outside of their competition. I did really enjoy the novel though!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book. It is a quick and entertaining read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mary Kay Andrews' Deep Dish stars Gina Foxton an older sister who is eager to please, cautious, and naive when it comes to men. Tate Moody is the man's man, grills, hunts, and loves the outdoors. Throw these two in a pot and stir. The results are hilarious, spicy, and steamy. In addition to these polar opposites, you have Gina's ex, Scott, who is out for himself and every woman he can get his hands on; Gina's sister, Lisa, who operates without a compass, is passionate, and unable to commit; Val, Tate's chain smoking, pressure cooker; and Moonpie, Tate's adorable pooch.As an aside, one of my favorite character was Moonpie; he seemed to soften the edges the characters create for themselves in an attempt to defend themselves against pain. D'John, the makeup and hair stylist for Gina and Tate, is outrageous and he provides each of the characters an anchor and support column. Mary Kay Andrews does a great job creating well rounded main and supporting characters.The impending cancellation of Gina's regional cooking show, pushes her into a reality show cook-off with Tate Moody, who has a successful outdoor hunting and cooking show. Food Fight is where the fun really picks up and Gina is forced to go out and forage Eutaw Island for ingredients before she can whip up a meal and dessert to impress three famous cooks, one of whom hates her guts. Tate Moody is in for the fight of his life even in spite of his hunting prowess as he is forced to make amazing meals out of regular household ingredients, including Frosted Flakes, to impress three judges, even one who hates his guts.Some of the best parts of this book occurs when the reality show begins, and though some of the plot is predictable, its done in a refreshing and new way. Southern cooking is the crux, and readers will be exposed to cuisine they may not see otherwise. Gina's flashbacks to her family life and her mother's cooking are vivid and enjoyable. These sections will likely remind readers of when they smell certain foods and memories flood back to them from their childhoods. If you need a light read, this is the book for you.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Being a Southerner, it isn't hard to figure that I love Southern Fiction and no one does it like Mary Kay Andrews. DEEP DISH is the story of Gina Foxton and Tate Moody, two regional TV chefs from Atlanta who are competing for their own show on a national cooking network. They end up doing a reality-type competition and the winner gets the new show. You don't have to be a foodie to enjoy this book. Its a fun story that has original twists in it, but overall, the ending is predictable. The characters are new and are independant of the SAVANNAH BLUES series. Like all her charachters in her books, they are likable and quirky. There's just enough romance and excitement, but if you're looking for hot, steamy romance, this isn't the book for you. It was a quick read and entertaining enough that when I did have to stop reading to go work or do house chores, I wanted to hurry and get back to see what would happen next. Its a great summer read that has a feel-good ending.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I've liked Andrews early books but this one was slow and tedious.
