Kevin
Roberts’ knack for creativity and healthy eating
in the kitchen can be seen, heard, and of course tasted.
Growing up in kitchens and focusing his college studies
on Health, Nutrition and Kinesiology, Kevin knows cooking
from the inside out.
With two cookbooks in print, owner and executive chef
of four sports bar/tavern concepts in San Diego and nationally
known as a radio and TV personality, Kevin knows a thing
or two about pleasing the young adults palate. His acclaimed
cookbook, Munchies, is targeted towards the starving
struggling to find quick, simple and tasty alternatives
to the campus dining halls and fast foods. With recipes
like west coast wings, tater tot hash and cinnamon roasted
grapefruit, Roberts’ book expresses the sentiment
that there is more to cooking than complex recipes and
expensive ingredients. Kissing in the Kitchen, his second
cookbook, aims to teach the novice chef how to prepare
that romantic dinner that every girl or guy dreams of.
His Sleep over Spinach and Make-out Macaroni illustrate
that food is definitely the way to win anyone’s
heart.
Aside from doing over a 100 national and local television
shows, including The Today Show, CBS’ Early Show & being
a regular on Better TV, he now hosts TLC’s BBQ PitMasters
and lectures at university campuses nationwide.
Kevin was also a Top Ten Finalist on The Next Food Network
Star, In addition, Roberts is the owner and Executive Chef
at San Diego’s award-winning East Village Tavern & Bowl,
one of the city’s hottest new downtown urban sports
bar.
Raised by a single-mother who worked in restaurants in
Los Angeles, Kevin Roberts was in the restaurant business
at a very young age. With a lot of trial & error and
with the help of his mom and nana, he taught himself to
cook at the age of 8 as an act of “self-preservation.” To
quote Roberts, “It was either cook or starve…” |
