Don’t get the wrong idea about brown paper covering the windows at Two Fat Ladies Over a Simmering Pot. The Wilmington restaurant is closed just long enough for Hollywood.
Crews for the upcoming movie “Tammy,” to film in and around Wilmington, are building a set inside Two Fat Ladies Over A Simmering Pot, said Gaylean White, one of the restaurant’s owners.
The 1601 Dawson St. at South 16th Street restaurant, is locked until about May 10 while the “Tammy” teams turn the building into a fast food restaurant, White said.
“Tammy,” starring Melissa McCarthy, is a comedy about a woman who loses her job and discovers her husband has been unfaithful – happenings that cause her to hit the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother, according to the Internet Movie Database, or IMDb. The movie is scheduled for a 2014 release.
“We work with a lot of movies,” White said of Two Fat Ladies Over A Simmering Pot. “They come to us.“
White played a waitress in the 2011 film “to.get.her,” and the restaurant also helped with cooking and kitchen scenes for 2008’s “The Secret Life of Bees.”
When Two Fat Ladies Over A Simmering Pot reopens, its hours will be noon to 8 p.m. Thursday and Sunday and noon to 9 p.m. on Friday, but more days are likely to be added as summer approaches, White said.
“We ain’t going anywhere,” she said.
