    From Cupcakes to Celebrity Kitchens: Chef Scotty B on Building Gourmet 21 | In Good Company

    He was selling cupcakes out of his dad’s barbershop in high school. Today he’s had the opportunity to cook for celebrities such as Martin Lawrence, George Lopez, Storm Reid and more. In this episode, I sit down with Chef Scotty B (Scotty Bonds) — a celebrity private chef, founder of Gourmet 21, and someone I’ve known since middle school in Greensboro, NC. Scotty takes us through his full journey: scrambling eggs with his dad at 3 years old, launching a cupcake business during high school, outgrowing the “cupcake man” label, and building a private chef brand that serves celebrity clients across the country. We get into what “elevated Southern food” means, why he goes to five different stores for a single event, the night he unexpectedly had to feed Martin Lawrence’s entire tour crew, and his dream of bringing the Gourmet 21 experience to people who’ve never had access to it. This is a conversation about passion, patience, family, and using your gift to serve others. The plate is his canvas. The 21 is his legacy.
