Just what it says.
Bob is a good cook, among other things.
The implication is the person in question has other talents as well.

Among Other Things Meaning

Usually, the phrase is used in the middle of a sentence to link two thoughts together. Another word one could use instead of the phrase would be, "also". For instance, " my grandson is a great basketball player, among other things, he is a nice guy. (or) My grandson is a great basketball player, also, he is a nice guy. At the end of a sentence, it leaves the listener to his own imagination," My grandson is a great basketball player, among other things. Hope this helps.

Picture a tabl ewith lots of different but similar items on it; papers, clips, files - use your imagination. Now pick up one of those things in your mind and examine it. As you place it back with the other items, it is just one "among other things," that you have examined. Hope that helps....

It means literally what it sounds like. That someone likes something more when comparing it to other things. Hmm. I guess this one is hard to explain. . .
