About Us

Every great meal tells a story — and for Southern Bells Personal & Private Chef Service, that story begins in New Jersey with Chef Keman Bell, a culinary visionary with more than three decades of experience.

Chef Bell’s passion for cooking started at a young age, inspired by the warmth of his grandmothers Southern kitchen and the artistry of classic French cuisine. Over the years, his dedication and creativity have carried him into the kitchens of some of the most influential individuals across the tri-state area.

His food isn’t just prepared — it’s composed, telling a story of culture, comfort, and connection.

Whether he’s curating an intimate dinner for two or designing a grand buffet for many, every plate reflects his belief that food should both nourish and inspire. At Southern Bells, Chef Bell brings together refinement and heart, crafting menus that honor tradition while embracing modern tastes and wellness.
