Gina Foxton is a firecracker not only on screen, but also
in her personal life. Her parents and sister, Lisa, can
attest to that! Being the host of a regional cooking show
on Georgia Public Television, Gina whips up authentic
Southern cooking with a twist. She only uses natural,
homegrown healthy ingredients to create yummy dishes to
satisfy even the most skeptical critic. Who said going
green only pertained to the environment? For Gina, she's
bringing green right into the kitchen.
Tate Moody's theory on cooking is the absolute
antitheses of Gina's au natural approach. If he can't
catch it or shoot it, he's not preparing it. A television
host, his cooking show is aptly named Vittles and focuses
on hunting, fishing, and frying whatever might taste good
after being sautéed in none other than bacon grease. Yes,
Tate Moody is certainly a rough and tumble kind of guy that
has a take-no-prisoner attitude especially when it comes to
his cooking.
When The Cooking Channel comes knocking on their
respective doors offering one of them the chance to win his
or her own show on the popular network, the table is set
for the most down and dirty cook-off that either one of
them has ever seen. As the pots start banging and the
temperature begins rising, these two adversaries conjure up
their most creative, quirky, and hopefully delicious dishes
sure to wow the judges. As they vie for a shot at national
fame, they soon realize that the heat they both are feeling
is not from the stove, but perhaps the flame from each
other's heart. Will these two master chefs be able to
separate their feelings for one another while fighting for
the ultimate prize? Or, will their recipe for success
include mixing their rather opposite tastes to create the
ultimate feast of love and happiness?
Mary Kay Andrew's DEEP DISH plates the best of
reality show themes with hot, sizzling romance to create a
dish that any chef would proudly serve. A departure from
her usual style, DEEP DISH is a bit edgy and a tad gritty
which perfectly suits this delectable tale of two lovable
characters on the verge of professional success and
potential love.
Another delicious treat full of Southern
sass, wit, and charm from the New York Times

Chef extraordinaire Gina
Foxton doesn't expect anything to be handed to her on a
platter. After years of hard work, the former runner-up Miss
Teen Vidalia Onion is now the host of her own local Georgia
public television show called Fresh Start, and she's
dating the show's producer.
But when her show gets
canceled—and she catches her boyfriend in flagrante delicto
with the boss's wife—Gina realizes that she's meant for
bigger and better things. Namely, a gig on national
television.
The Cooking Channel is looking for its
next big star, and Gina is certain that she fits the bill.
Trouble is, the execs also have their eyes on Mr. "Kill It
and Grill It" Tate Moody, the star of a hunting, fishing,
and cooking show named Vittles. Tate is the ultimate
man's man, with a dog named Moonpie and a penchant for
flannel shirts. He's also a tasty side of beef with a
swooning female fan base. All Gina has on her side are a
free-spirited, college-dropout sister and a mother who calls
every single day.
Little does Gina know,
though, that she and Tate are soon to embark on the cook-off
of their lives, spiced up by a little ingredient called
love.
