Celebrity Sighting at South Congress Cafe
Yesterday M. was craving crab cakes so we went there for lunch around 1:00. There was one of those signs on the door indicating that if we went inside we were granting permission to be filmed for an upcoming episode for a new show to be tentatively called "Giada's Weekend Getaways." We look at each other quizically, say "huh?" and then M. looks in the window and proclaims, "there she is!"
So we went in to wait for a table. They end up seating us right next to her table, though out of camera shot. The tables that were within the camera angle were filled with extras!! I thought that was pretty weak. But M. thought maybe they had to do that so the people sitting around her on camera wouldn't constantly be turning to look at her. Like we were.
She was tasting the carrotcake french toast. The funniest part was when they were done shooting, the sound operator guy sauntered around to her half-eaten plate and helped himself to a bite. Hee hee! A quick search reveals the series will premiere on Jan. 12.
And yes, her head really is that big in real life.

Oh my Gosh! You have to tell my mom about this on Friday night! She will be thrilled!
does she also take annoyingly tiny bites of food in real life??
jt- totally, and apparently the crew makes great use of this fact!
Although I have to say, watching the filming process makes you realize exactly how many times she has to put those bites of food in her mouth.
