The nickname seemed to be easier for the American public to grasp than my full German name resembling a Middle-Eastern heritage, phonetically. Then, the frequent question "Chef Kim?" ruined it all again.
This Bavarian chef wears many hats - as a lodge chef in Alaska, entertaining the guests with his silly comedy routines, as a promoter of his business ventures in Austin, TX and across the country, as a musician and artist designing advertising campaigns for his own products, and now also as a healthy foods internet marketeer.
The nickname became a brand, intentionally associated with my specialty food brand "Chef Keem's Agasweet flavored agave nectar".
The nickname yields many pages of relevant Google search results. Thanks to Squidoo.com!

The Chef
Everybody loves a chef...
Dad baked the cakes and prepared his wonderful elbow macaroni with ground beef sauce.
Achim ate. And played in bands. And became a musician.
Achim met a nice girl from San Antonio, Texas and moved to America!
Years later, I rediscovered my passion for cooking and enrolled in Chef School.
After several years of cooking in some of Austin's fine restaurants I started my own specialty food company.

The artist's view
If you ever come to Salado, Texas, you must stop at the Wells Gallery. Ronnie's sculptures and painting are on display in many places across the nation and his roster of accolades seems to be endless.
The Entrepreneur
I love to be my own boss!
Years later, in America, I tried it again, working as a line cook, pastry chef, or sous chef for various restaurants. Finally, in 2001 I was laid off and started my own company, "Sweet Venus Delights".
Now, I want to be a successful online marketeer, too! Look, I'm 59 years old, in May of 2008. I don't have much time left, so help me out and gimme star ratings in order to secure my retirement income. ;-)

From German pop to lonely tunes...
In 1973, CBS Germany hired me to run their Munich A & R office, and I had the great fortune to meet and work with incredible stars of the music scene, i.e. Chicago, (I'm so proud that Chicago bass man Jason Scheff subscribed to my YouTube channel!), Donna Summer, Albert Hammond, and others. Among them were many friends who today live and work successfully from their Los Angeles mansions: Giorgio Moroder, Keith Forsey, Harold Faltermeyer, Sylvester Levay, Silver Convention.
These days, I'm happy with my little home studio on my iMac. Every once in a while I write a piece, put it all together with my keyboard and GarageBand software, and upload it to my own original music web site: KeemSounds.

One of my sillier songs...
with lyrics by my dear friend Paul Weidner
I wash the dishes (bear naked)
In 1974, 2 guys from Texas met one Bavarian. They ate and drank and generated lots of dirty dishes. One day, they wrote this song. Over 30 years later, this song was finally recorded and set to tasty images from Alaska, along with pictures of those 3 friends...

The Comedian
Do you think this is funny???
Supporting comedy actor
With German comedy super star Gerhard Polt
Unfortunately (for most Squidooers), these clips are all in German, from a TV series that has been in reruns for the past 28 years.
Ladies and gentlemen - Super Star Gerhard Polt, starring Chef Keem! ;-)
The Gourmand
The weenie!
Please get more details about this delicate subject on my "Weenie" lens.
The Guru
"No more sugar, baby!"
I'm on a mission to spread the word on great alternative sweeteners, all natural and organic, if possible. Something like my splendid (hidden pun alert!) Agasweet flavored agave nectar.
Here's your home work:

I love this lens, as I do all the others of yours I have visited, but I would love to see your version of "Schweinhax'n" (Spelling?) Do you make it? It is always the first thing I order during any of my frequent visits to Munich! No one outside Bavaria seems to know what they are missing! Posted June 04, 2008 |
