Five things he'd tell you over a plate.
Jevgeni is Estonian, late fifties, and looks like he could end an argument by walking into the room. Then he opens his mouth and it's all teddy bear.
He's one of the chefs. He makes a wrap that people ask for by name, and he makes it the same careful way whether it's for a guest or for you at the end of a double. He loves his wife, he loves his car, and he loves his life — roughly in that order, and he'd tell you so.
Shishkabobs — his, off the grill.
Estonia — home. Eesti.
My ride — dodge challenger Hellraiser color, tinted, parked under Florida palms.
I love my cats — a man this size, and this is what he leads with.
I love motocross — still and always.
The Jevgeni Collection is part of an ongoing series honoring the people who I had the pleasure of working with in the hotel.
