Singer-songwriter and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi has begun production for a reality show centered around her Atlanta soul food restaurant Old Lady Gang.
Kandi and her husband Todd Tucker opened Old Lady Gang in 2016 in Castleberry Hill as an ode to Kandi’s mother Joyce Jones and aunts Nora Wilcox and Bertha Jones. Two more locations have been opened in East Point and the State Farm Arena. The restaurant’s menu features a variety of soul food staples including fried chicken, mac & cheese, fish and grits, banana pudding, and more. Recognized as one of the tastiest soul food restaurants in the Southeast, the restaurant has received accolades such as Diner’s Choice Award in 2018 from Open Table.
According to AJC, there is no official statement from Bravo about the production or the focus of the show. It is unclear if the show is centered around the staff, Kandi and Todd’s experience as owners, or the drama centering the restaurant i.e. the shooting on the night of February 14, 2020. It is also unclear which location, if not all three, will be filmed.
