Meet Chef Nelly

Hi, I’m Chef Nelly — your all-in-one go-to private chef. I bring over 3 years of professional culinary experience and more than 10 years of cooking with passion, rooted in traditions and techniques passed down by my grandmother, who still throws down in the kitchen to this day! I fell in love not only with creating delicious cultural fusions, but also with designing food that looks just as good as it tastes. In 2023, while living in Georgia, I turned my passion into a career, starting a local side hustle under the name “Chef Nelly Eat’z.” What began as sharing meals with my community quickly became a hit, and the overwhelming support inspired me to dream even bigger. Taking a leap of faith, I relocated to New York City to elevate my craft and establish myself in the culinary industry. After months of vision-building and refining what I wanted to showcase to the world, The Nelly Experience was officially born in May 2025. The Nelly Experience is where passionately curated food meets modern luxury — from the feeling of being personally catered to, to savoring food that delights in every bite and presentation that wows the eye. With my experience, creativity, and eye for detail, I specialize in making your special moments even more unforgettable.
