United Way and Carrabba's unite with good food

Carrabba's Italian Grill in Destin opened its doors early on Friday, April 12, for some cooking fun with diners who came to participate in cooking demonstrations and donate to the United Way of Okaloosa and Walton Counties.

Carrabba's Managing Partner Paul Schreiner, a 15-year veteran of the restaurant, welcomed the 50 guests to the event. Schreiner said he has a passion for the restaurant and hospitality. He also believes in community involvement, which he shows by serving on the United Way Board of Directors.

Following the welcome, guests separated into groups for cooking lessons, complete with recipes furnished by the restaurant. While one group learned to make Marsala wine sauce and grilled chicken, another learned to make sautéed spinach with golden garlic slices and Cozze in Bianco, or steamed mussels in white wine, basil and lemon butter.

     He got his GED and then went to college, where he received a degree in computer science.

     Erickson delivered this message to a group of about two dozen students in an after school program at the Eleanor J. Johnson Youth Center in Fort Walton Beach.
