The show is the chef’s travelogue as it features her visit to chefs and farmers from around the South to learn about their specialties. In 2019, while talking about the experience of working on her latest show, she shared to Eater.com:
Shooting South by Somewhere has made me look at what we call Southern food with a new set of spectacles. The home kitchens I learn in, the stories I hear people share, the food I watch them make — it has lit a fresh fire under me. I’m excited that, as Southerners, we can tell these complex stories through food and culture, and not shy away from our past or present.
