Nicknamed by longtime restaurant promoter and Savor Dallas Founder Jim White as a “true Renaissance Man,” Bob is a man of many interests and experiences. A Texas‐born and raised chef, “Whoopeecat” (as he is sometimes called) is an accomplished performance poet who has entertained around the US and Canada, zen motorcyclist, supporter of local nonprofit organizations and now the owner/chef of FnG Eats with chef partner Carlos Arevalo. Honing his skills for more than 35 years in the restaurant business, Bob has worked for some of the most reputable restaurants in DFW. His humble beginnings started at 13 years old as a short order cook in his parents’ bowling alley coffee shop in Irving, Texas. He was one of the first corporate kitchen trainers for Chili’s opening restaurants all over the U.S. in the mid-80s; worked for Houston’s Restaurants in Dallas, Kansas City and Atlanta; and Patrizio’s Italian restaurant in Highland Park Village for Jack Knox in the mid-90s before coming to Las Colinas for his 15‐year long tenure at Cool River Café.
Bob is a man of many talents and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. When he’s not working he’s enjoying life with his lovely wife, Julie.
Carlos Arevalo is a native El Salvadoran who immigrated to the U.S. in 1984 to serve up a sweeter life for his family. Now 28 years later, he continues to serve up tasty treats for all of DFW. He began his career in the restaurant business as a dishwasher at Number 1 Pearl Street Oyster Bar in Dallas. He worked his way through the kitchen before taking a position with Macaroni Grill in North Dallas. Razoo’s was the next stop for Carlos, and as he worked his first management position, he became a U.S. citizen. Then in 1998, Carlos joined Cool River Cafe in Las Colinas as sous chef and working alongside Chef Bob Stephenson for more than 12 years until embarking on FnG Eats in their hometown of Keller, Texas.
When Carlos isn’t creating deliciousness in the kitchen, you’ll find him being the devoted husband to his wife, Adella, supporting his son, Owen’s soccer team, or attending choir recitals to hear the beautiful voice of his daughter, Amy.
