The Roots

Chef Owner, Kira Coates fell in love with food as a young child looking for comfort. As a child abuse survivor, Chef Kira spent her adolescent years homeless. Eventually, she began to cook meals in exchange for an overnight stay. As the locations changed often throughout Northern NJ, the type of cuisines, techniques, and preferences of those eating the food changed as well, laying the foundation for a versatile and experienced self-taught chef. This is also the foundation for her insight into nurturing that is exchanged through preparing, serving, and sharing meals.
In 2020, she decided to elevate this expression to a professional level by forming a personal chef business and taking classes to enable her to be regarded as a Professional Chef and Servsafe Manager. Now, committed to fresh food and remarkable service with a purpose, Black Betty’s Cuisine offers the best opportunity to share the love.
