Good Day Atlanta Cooking Segment (and behind the scenes!)
I had a GREAT time with the wonderful folks at Good Day Atlanta today. Thank you so much for having me! Here is a video clip from my appearance and some snapshots below in case you want to see it.
I got to get makeup. Love this part ! 
This is me and Gloria. Gloria was my food stylist. When you are traveling and going to new towns and such, they hire a food stylist who lives in that town and shops for groceries, cooks your recipes to have as props on set, and designs the set and such. She makes sure you have all the utensils and ingredients you’ll need for on air. I only have a food stylist on this book tour when I’m doing cooking segments. A lot of my television segments are just straight interviews.
Gloria was amazing and I was so honored to get to work with her. She has worked with Julia Child, Paula Deen, and more!
Once we got the kitchen all set up, they wheeled it into the main set during a commercial break.
Getting it in the final location.
Mama took this pick. Thanks Mama!
This is me and Karen. Karen is the NICEST lady, I just loved getting to hang out and chat with her!
The view from the monitors.
Mama thought the teleprompter was neat. I do, too.
This is the meteorologist, Jeff Hill. Bradybug loves meteorology so I had to get a pic for him!
Me and Gloria again.
Karen and I sat down and got to talking and going through the cookbook and they ended up having to remind her that the show wasn’t over yet! hehe
Here is the crew coming in to eat up the rest of the food.
On the way out, I had to stop and take a photo of the television station. Isn’t it beautiful?
Oh my goodness, that was fun!

Too cute! Only in the south do we have TV stations that look like Antebellum homes!!
I am so glad you are having a good time because I am living vicariously(that’s my $5 word for today) through you.
Oh how beautiful is that! You are a natural on TV Christy!
I saw flashes during your segment this morning and I wondered why, but then they showed your mama holding her camera. I know she is proud of you. You did a great job.
Awww … this made me tear up. I feel like one of my family members has made it big. Love you, Christy, and so proud for you!
Christy, I can’t wait for your own cooking show! Loved you on that clip and feel like I know you even better now. You were awesome!!
Thanks for sharing!!! I loved looking at these pictures!!!
Christy, I don’t like mayo either!!!! Love the video!!!
Food TV here you come! Wow, you looked great. I went to Walmart and didn’t find your book. Will continue to hunt until I’m successful.
The cookbook is not available in the walmart store. You can order it like i did at walmart.com. If you use site to store you only pay the $14.49 for the cookbook and $1.53 for the tax. No shipping and handling costs!
So cool and fun! I want to be a food stylist like Gloria- that sounds like a fun job, but I’m sure alot of work too.
Christy, I felt JUST like Angie.. I teared up for a “part of my family”. And, you know, Christy, you are truly a natural and have definitely found your calling!
I didnt even think of it before…but Food Network needs YOU!
take care..
Marian
You make us Southerns proud!!! love ya!!!
Great job! Can’t wait finally meet you tonight!
Can hardly wait for you to have your own cooking show, if that’s to be in your future! You’d be a natural!! Thank you for the video and thank you to your Mama for the great pictures she took. I love being able to see all the behind-the-scene pictures. Makes us feel like we were there with you and your Mama. Continued success on your book and everything that comes about because of it!!
Christy, I am so glad you had a good time in Atlanta, and I’m glad your mom got to go with you. Wished I could have seen you and chatted longer this weekend in Guntersville at your book signing but I saw that you were so busy. Take care and have fun, you deserve it!!! Love, Audrey
Christy! Thanks for putting the Good Day Atlanta segment on your blog! I couldn’t get it down here in Hahira GA! The camera LOVES you girl!!! You’re a natural for FoodTV! Got my bookplate today, too! It’s been a good day! Again, congratulations and best of luck (like you need it!!!!!).

Nice job in Atlanta! We can’t wait to see your smilin’ face in Asheville tomorrow!
Great pictures, Christy! So far, I can’t get the video to play for me; but, I won’t give up. I bet you & your Mama are having a blast! I know my Mama would love it!
I got my book plate a couple of days ago; but, I’m still bringing my 2 cookbooks for you to sign in Austin! Can’t wait!

What a great video!
Also the pictures of “behind the scenes” were lovely. I really enjoyed visiting the TV studio with you, and WHAT a studio – absolutely magnificent.
Aaaw look at you, and look at mama just sitting there with that big ol’ camera in her hand snapping away at you!
Oh my goodness you are the sweetest thing ever…and a natural! I would sooo watch your cooking show!
I’ll say it again…you are a natural in front of the camera. Loved this. I only have one fault with you. You don’t care for mayonnaise….oh my gracious….that is one of the basic food groups for me. LOL I won’t hold that against you though. You’ll eat it in the comeback sauce…and I know you eat it in other things since you put it in your recipes. Loved meeting you last night in Atlanta. Hope to see you again one day.
Congrats girl, you done good!!
Oh my gracious Christy!! As Andy Warhol said about everyone having their “15 minutes of fame”, you’re getting yours and them some!! Boy, do you deserve it.!!!! I’m waiting for Paula Deen to have you on her show next and then I’ll really flip for joy!!!
Gracious y’all. To watch the video and to see how smooth and confident you were Christy, is SO cool! I love how it really does seem like this is just a friend in your kitchen. Atlanta now “knows” about Southern Plate and folks that have not had the confidence to cook, can now use your step by step pictures tutorials to see how it is done. Congrats on your book signing tour for the fabulous new cookbook!! Love you girl and so proud of you too.
I am so JEALOUS that all these folks are meeting you in person and there is not a one of your book tours near my town in Illinois! But, I’ll live vicariously through your updates and I know some of my family is coming out to meet you! We’re making chicken planks this weekend!
You go girl……………………………
Great job!! I hope one day to find you with your own show! You’ve accomplished what I thought would be impossible as somebody in their mid 30′s who never learned to cook- you are teaching me to cook so many wonderful foods. Thank you so much for your recipes and stories, I have spent hours on this site reading all of the posts since I stumbled on here a few months back.
p.s. Chicken planks are definitely on the agenda here very soon!
You were absolutely wonderful on Good Day – a natural I’d say. Look out Miss Paula I think you may have some strong competition. I prepared the chicken strips and they were to die for. I can see your cookbook being on my Christmas wish list.
