We had the good fortune of connecting with Javin Adderley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Javin, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
When I saw that my desire in corporate America was coming to an end, I wanted to do something that I enjoyed doing. My desire for cooking, grilling and smoking meats, lead me to the creation of Tropikal Bird Turkey Legs

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Tropikal Bird Turkey Legs is an American Caribbean infused restaurant. We specialize in smoked stuffed turkey legs, salmon and more. We pride ourselves in lots of flavors and meat that literally falls of the bone. Our business is continually growing as more and more people visit our establishment and try our food. We are proud that when guest enter our establishment, they feel the Caribbean vibes with the decor, music and flavors that captures their full attention. It was not an easy road, as we had many challenges to overcome: from being held up because of a custom equipment, staffing and even having to close for a month due to a kitchen accident.
Coming from an engineering career in corporate America, to now a chef in the kitchen may seem like a big change, but I’ve been cooking and in the kitchen for most of my life.
We want people to know that when they dine with Tropikal Bird Turkey Legs, they will be getting excellent service, and mouth-watering food filled with flavors.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
