Local dad turned food influencer grills up a game day delight

Chris Roberston boasts over 325,000 followers on Instagram under the handle @cookinwithswiss.

โ€œEveryone thinks my name has to do with cheese, it has nothing to do with cheese,โ€

His favorite movie growing up was Swiss Family Robinson and since his last name is Robertson, the nickname stuck, and he hated it.

โ€œSo, like any nickname you start off hating it, then, you wear it like a badge of honor,โ€ he joked.

Chris is a family man, heโ€™s got 2 beautiful little girls, Etta and Florence. His supportive wife, Karina, is expecting another baby soon (I canโ€™t help but think of how well this sweet family must eat.)

โ€œI got my girls a lot of times, behind the scenes, hopefully they will do some cooking with me,โ€ Chris said.

It doesnโ€™t take long to realize Chris is all Texan, meaning his page is very meat-forward.

โ€œMe being a jumbo-petite model I love steak, so I just went all in on it, and the bigger the steak, the better the video would do,โ€ Chris admitted.

Chris has big goals, heโ€™s currently asking his followers for their input on his next venture, his very own signature seasoning. Heโ€™s a prime example of someone who had a passion, put in the work, and is now living the dream.

โ€œIโ€™ve always been someone who just loves to eat,โ€ he laughed.

Hereโ€™s the chimichurri recipe that goes great with a game day steak:

-chopped parsley

- chopped cilantro

-minced garlic

-minced shallot

-red wine vinegar

-oil of choice (Chris like avocado seed)

-oregano

-crushed red pepper

-salt and pepper
