The origin of Annie Bells

A grandmother, a promise, and a plate

Chef Jessie founded Annie Bells Catering in 2007, inspired by his grandmother, Anniebell Bryant, the heart of the family kitchen, who could somehow have breakfast, lunch, and dinner going at the same time. Her favorite meal, fried fish, cornbread, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese, still carries the love and tradition behind every dish Chef Jessie prepares today.

She taught him two lessons that guide his work: always do your best, and never take shortcuts.

Meet the chef

Executive Chef Jessie Scott

Chef Jessie brings his grandmother's philosophy into every meal. Each dish deserves 100 percent effort, from selecting the freshest organic ingredients to the final taste. For him, every plate is a work of art, and there is no greater feeling than tasting the finished dish and knowing he gave it his all.

Since launching Annie Bells Catering in 2007, Chef Jessie has catered more than 500 weddings and nearly 2,000 private events. His culinary journey has taken him across the country, serving Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, families, and friends from all walks of life. From 2020 through 2025 he also operated a food truck, bringing his signature flavors and hospitality directly into the community.

His greatest achievement, though, is being the proud father of three sons, Sebastian, Spencer, and Mason. Affectionately known as “The Scott Boys,” they are his daily inspiration and the namesake behind a collection of specialty sandwiches on his menu, a reminder that every dish he prepares is rooted in love for family.

For Chef Jessie, food is more than a meal. It is family, tradition, connection, and an opportunity to create lasting memories.
