The new “Real Housewives of Atlanta” spinoff takes viewers behind the scenes of Burruss’ new family-run restaurant, Old Lady Gang (OLG), as the staff juggle their often intertwined personal lives and the demands of the hospitality business. It quickly becomes clear that this Atlanta eatery has a lot more cooking than just southern dishes.
Burruss told Insider that “Kandi and the Gang” revealed to her for the first time some of the relationships that took place between the restaurant’s staff. “Some of the relationships that are happening in our restaurant — some of them I think ‘okay.’ But some of them I didn’t know they had hooked up!” she said.
“Like, I knew some people were liking each other or whatever, but a couple of them, I was like ‘who, what?’ I didn’t know that was going on. It was a surprise!” the “Real Housewives” star added.
Staff romance is prevalent on the show. One of the fan-favorite relationships to watch develop has been between OLG’s manager, Brandon Black, and OLG’s bartender, Dom’Unique Variety. Black even revealed on the show that he started working at OLG after seeing Variety working there.
And Burruss isn’t afraid to show all facets of restaurant life — both front of the house and back. When asked if she fears opening up her restaurant’s issues to the world and having that potentially impact sales, she admitted she was a bit concerned.
“On one hand, we wanted to show people that even though we’re ‘celebrities,’ we still have the same struggles that other business owners have when it comes to having your own small business,” Burruss told Insider.
“We were trying to let people see that we have to deal with a lot of the same things. But at the same time, you know, a lot of times people want to see you as perfect, and they don’t wanna see the struggles,” she said.
“Kandi and the Gang” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
