JERNARD
WELLS
CHEF/OWNER
Chef Jernard Wells was inspired to create Cornbread and Butters as a heartfelt tribute to the rich culinary traditions of the South and the comforting meals he grew up enjoying with family. Blending soulful flavors with modern flair, he envisioned a place where every dish tells a story—of heritage, hospitality, and heart. With Cornbread and Butters, Chef Jernard invites guests to experience Southern cuisine reimagined, rooted in love and seasoned with purpose.
OUR
STORY
The story of Cornbread and Butters began in Chef Jernard Wells’ childhood kitchen, where the aroma of his grandmother’s cooking filled the air and every meal was made with love and intention. Those early memories of family, food, and Southern hospitality planted the seed for a dream—a place where tradition and innovation could come together on one plate. Years later, after earning acclaim as a celebrity chef and cookbook author, Jernard felt called to return to his roots. He envisioned Cornbread and Butters as more than a restaurant; it would be a celebration of the flavors that shaped him and a tribute to the generations who taught him the power of food to bring people together. With every dish, he honors that legacy—one bite at a time.
