Tyler Veron Kanwai Entices Clients from Far and Wide with His Delicious Food

    DENVER, CO, January 17, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tyler Veron Kanwai has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

As the chef and owner of TK's Surf & Turf Kitchen, Tyler Veron Kanwai prepares delicious dishes from land and sea.

Mr. Kanwai first took an interest in cooking as a child, preparing simple dishes for himself, such as pancakes and eggs, before school. Over time, cooking became second nature to him. As he grew older, he continued to hone his culinary skills and started cooking for his friends, a habit that he carried on in college, often throwing parties and giving people a taste of his appetizing food in his spare time.

The idea to dive into entrepreneurship came to Mr. Kanwai five years ago, while he was looking for supplemental income after his roommate moved out. He started cooking his own seafood recipes, posted pictures on social media and sold food from his home on weekends. After three years of doing that successfully, he began weaning himself from his full-time job to devote more time to his thriving business. Undaunted by the Coronavirus pandemic, he opened his restaurant in 2020 and drew many to his one-of-a-kind seafood offerings, especially his secret sauce. His clientele grew so swiftly that professional athletes, including the Denver Broncos and Denver Nuggets, as well as customers from other states and even countries across the world, such as London, have been enticed. His food has been frequently described in reviews as a "party in your mouth."

A highlight from his career that stood out to Mr. Kanwai was, of course, the establishment of his restaurant, TK's Surf & Turf Kitchen. He is also proud of owning Colorado's first African American-owned seafood restaurant. Customers especially love his signature plate called "The Works," which includes crab clusters, shrimp, a lobster tail and chopped beef sausage. When Denver Food Scene, a foodie social media network, heard about his restaurant, they posted a TikTok video of his establishment that went viral, gaining more than a million views in 24 hours and instantly turning his business into an overnight success. Shou Zi Chew, the chief executive officer of TikTok, even mentioned his restaurant in an interview on Bloomberg, as he was explaining how the social networking platform helps small businesses.

Today, Mr. Kanwai is often booked by many professional athletes, celebrities, politicians and social influencers. Interestingly enough, although his business has been a thriving one, Mr. Kanwai had no prior experience in restaurant ownership before opening his restaurant. His greatest sense of accomplishment comes from the fact that he is living his father's dream. He feels blessed to touch the lives of as many people as he possibly can through the legacy that he received from his father.

Looking ahead, Mr. Kanwai hopes to franchise his business in order to preserve his father's culinary legacy and pass it on to his children.
