Chef Biography

Aaron Wilson

Aaron Wilson grew up in Indiana where he attended Kokomo High School, and later went on to get his degree at Indiana University. He has been part of the Cameron Mitchell Restaurants family for the past 7 years, where he worked as a Sous Chef at Ocean Club, Martini Italian Bistro and Molly Woo’s before taking on the role of Executive Chef at Cameron’s American Bistro in Worthington. He also has teaching experience with Williams Sonoma, where he taught cooking classes.

Cooking was a big part of Aaron’s childhood. Both of his parents worked when he was growing up, so many times he cooked his own meals at home.  That allowed him to do a lot of experimenting with food…though it might not have always been good.  He says his biggest influence in cooking is probably his Aunt Edith.

According to Aaron, his favorite style of cooking is American Cuisine.  His favorite kitchen utensil to use is tongs, and he claims that the one ingredient that you can always find around his kitchen is Tabasco sauce.

Aaron prepares many dishes for friends and family, and says he has honestly never cooked the same thing for them twice, so they don’t really have a most requested dish…they are just happy to have someone cooking for them!

When he is not in the kitchen, Aaron enjoys watching sports on television.
