Nemuel Bonner, aka Chef Nem , is not new to this but true. Pre-COVID, you could catch Chef Nem whipping up his famous “Salmon Fries” in small kitchens at local bars and clubs. His clientele grew massively by word of mouth and social media.

Bonner makes it a point to always be a student. While on vacations, Chef Nem visits local kitchens to help out or just learn from the respected chefs. Bonner is also known to be a huge fan of celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay. In just a short time, Chef Nem and his dishes have become renowned in the Ohio Valley, earning the attention (and dollars) of many athletes and celebrities like Boosie, Desi Banks, Chicken P, Trinidad James, and many many more.
