While “Southern and Hungry” provides viewers with plenty of witty banter, it also manages to dish out some heartfelt moments. “One of the greatest times we had was our time in Moncks Corner with Miss Annie at Addielee’s,” said Wood. “When she shared the story of her cooking with her father, in the same cast iron pot that she still cooks with today, it brought tears to our eyes.
