Josh recently learned the secrets to real down-home cooking while filming an episode of CMT's Southern Fried Flicks With Hazel Smith. In addition to enjoying George Strait’s recipe for King Ranch Chicken and Spanish rice, the “Beer On The Table” singer chatted with Hazel about the February 23 release of his album Way Out Here, his Opry debut and his upcoming Jagermeister Country Tour with Eric Church. Hazel Smith, the authority on who’s who in country music, admitted afterwards that she wanted to adopt Josh Thompson and added, “He writes such great songs and sings 'em like a saint.”

“Hazel is an absolute sweetheart, and has a way of making me feel like home. As soon as I hit the door, the smell brought me back to a home cooked meal and a familiar place,” Thompson says of his visit. “The food was amazing! It had that pinch of ‘love’ you can't find just anywhere.” The episode will air on CMT tomorrow, Saturday February 6th, at 5PM and 9:15PM EST.
