An evening at Carabbas Cookenstein is an effort for me to tell my story as it goes along. Likes, dislikes my career, and who I am as a Cook. First off, my name is Kevin Wilson. Cookenstein just kind of fits my behavior of the fact that I always have my hands in multiples of things, or am made up of so many different things, life wise. I call myself a cook because that was where I realized that this would be the thing that stuck with me in life. Good or bad, it is who I am. My instincts, actions all come from how I was then, and how I learn now. I have been a chef for several companies, and have progressed up the food chain since. But I am a cook at heart.
Cookenstein kind of demonstrates this. My interests are certainly not just in the food field. I love technology and many things about it. Like with food I am learning everyday, and always will. This site brings those two worlds crashing together. I am master of nothing, but know a little of many things. Cookenstein will eventually tell, how it all started, and where it currently interests and takes me. Everything I am and have now has come through the kitchen in life.
It all really started in the dishroom. You have to know how to peel a potato before you can cook it.
I still feel today that somehow I am just starting out in so many ways. It is always been a side of me that feels insecure, of my own strengths and abilities. Maybe it is what keeps me grounded or as focused as I can be.
