Chef Keem is from Munich, Germany and migrated to the U.S. of A. after a career as a pop music composer/arranger and record producer during the 70’s. Chef Keem moved to the United States in 1981 with 2 suitcases and $500 in his pocket and started from scratch.
He attended the Le Chef culinary school, now called the Texas Culinary Academy, and worked in many restaurants before starting his own business in 2001 manufacturing a product called Agasweet, custom confections and pastries, and spending 2 months a year in Alaska working as Executive Chef for the Driftwood Lodge.
Since January 2008, Chef Keem is building his business online by sharing his knowledge on cooking and personal branding through Squidoo lenses, a Squidoozine called SquidLog.com, and his personal website chefkeem.com.

Thank you so much for your patronage, John. Like any new restaurant, we’ll have to work out a few growing pains until everything is up and running smoothly. Our main focus is on providing authentic Bavarian food of the highest quality. I was born and raised in Munich myself, and if I don’t like a dish I would never serve it to my guests, either. Looking forward to your next visit!
Dear Chef Keem!
My name is Hannah and I represent Kamut International. We were excited to see an excerpt about Kamut in a recent article you had written! It was great to see you talking about this ancient grain. We would like to send you some additional material about Kamut and would like to know where to send it! Thank you so much for your great article. Also, feel free to connect with us on FB and Twitter!
Cheers,
Hannah Nelson
Dear Chef Keem….I just tripped across your website today and was so glad to see your article on Dannon lawsuit. Congratulations on bringing that to consumers attention.
I don’t know if you might be interested, but my company was the pioneer in America for Probiotics. 15 years ago they weren’t even on the radar…today everyone thinks they know how to create one. I would invite you to look at my site: http://www.bodybiotics.com We are a legitamate business with an effective product that really works. This week we are filing a submission to the FDA to make 22 claims regarding this product, backed by some 700 plus pages of data. I love this product and it changed my life 15 years ago…and 5 years ago I bought the company….that’s how much i believe in it. I sincerely believe we live in times when the right probiotic is critical to longterm health. I would like to get the word out and work with people like yourself to make that happen. If you find this interesting, we are for the first time offering private label and there are other options. Feel free to call me at: 512-736-4797 or email me at kelli@bodybiotics.com
Sincere Regards,

Thanks so much for your note, Kelli. I’ll check out your website, and I will get back with you if there is something I can do.
Best,
Chef Keem
