Meet Chef Chris Wilson Chris Wilson is the Sous Chef at The Carillon Restaurant and will be celebrating his two year anniversary with the AT&T Conference Center next month. Chris’s passion for cooking flourished growing up in a household where meals and cooking were the social center of his family (although his childhood dream job was to be Spiderman). He pursued his interest in culinary arts and attended Le Cordon Bleu in Austin after studying Radio, Television and Film here at UT Austin. Chris is preparing for the holiday season, which is always a very festive and busy time at The Carillon Restaurant and AT&T Conference Center, and will have a lot on his plate, pun intended. He hopes to make it home for his favorite holiday dish and tradition, Mom’s crockpot chili, on Christmas Eve. Chris enjoys relaxing with his dog, watching movies, and doing his favorite Austin hobby, eat. Campus Club members, be sure to stop by The Carillon Restaurant this month to try the amazing seasonal cuisine creations Chris will be dishing out! Remember The Carillon and AT&T Conference Center when making holiday reservations for you and your family this season. Chris is making sure that there are plenty of special events and tasty treats!
