My guest this week is Will Adkison- co-owner and cook of Sweet and Salty Island Grindz, specializing in authentic Hawaiian BBQ and Pacific Islander Cuisine. They started as a food truck in 2020 and moved into Henry’s Depot in Sanford and also Halls on 5th in Apopka.

We talked about even though he was not a chef he had a passion and love for cooking and decided he wanted to start Sweet and Salty, using locally sourced ingredients or shipped directly from Hawaii.

Will spoke about everything from the importance of Community to word of mouth and his Hot Butted Chicken Katsu sandwich going viral on Tik Tok.
