Atlanta’s brunch scene has seen a surge in popularity, but renowned Celebrity Chef and Entrepreneur, Bryant “Chef Baul” WIlliams felt there was a gap for an experience that blends approachable comfort food with an elevated twist, without the intimidating price tag. Having traveled the world as a celebrated figure in the world of culinary, renowned tour chef for MIGOS and cooking for top entertainers like Cardi B., Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, Tyler Perry, and Lil Baby, he understood the vision behind creating an atmosphere where people enjoyed quality meals away from home, as if experienced in the comfort of their homes.

As a self-taught chef, Chef Baul’s passion for culinary excellence and lifelong love for cooking was influenced at an early age by his beloved grandmother, Betty Sue, a former chef to iconic boxer, Leon Spinks. The restaurant is an ode to her, as her cooking set the foundation and sparked his lifelong love for cooking and creating experiences for customers to enjoy food outside the comfort of their homes. Many of the recipes at Betty Sue’s, chicken n waffles, shrimp and grits, and even his grandmother’s homemade waffles were not only staples in his childhood but were the main ingredients that created a sense of community within his family that brought love and togetherness. Bringing those same recipes, Chef Baul wanted to create a brunch concept to honor her legacy and for guests to gain an experience where every dish served at Betty Sue’s provides a sense of home comfort in every bite. “At Betty Sue’s, we want every guest to feel like they’re eating at home, at their mother or Grandma’s table,” said Bryant Williams. “The food, the ambiance, and the service will all work together to create that comforting, nostalgic feeling. We’re excited to share this next chapter with our community.”
For Chef Baul and Daniella Williams, food is more than just a business – it’s a love language. Their connection as a power couple is rooted in their shared passion for providing extraordinary culinary experiences. In less than two years, they have launched their second restaurant, Betty Sue’s, right next door to their first– popular soul food hotspot, Binky’s.
