Ulric Joseph of shadobeni412!⁠

"I moved to this country in 1995 to attend college. Since that time, I have bounced around from the US back to my home in Trinidad with stops in the UK. I returned to the US most recently in 2011 to accept a teaching job. My life quickly changed in 2013 when I married someone in another city, and began commuting between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Commuting for 8 years took its toll. As I made the decision that it would be my final year enduring the commute, I started to look at other options and avenues to work outside of the education environment. Cooking is an area that has always been a passion for me and my native Trinidadian food is quite unique so it seemed a natural choice to follow this path. In 2019 I began selling food out of a stall at farmers markets. I quickly gained a following and decided that this was something I wanted to pursue full time.⁠
⁠
We offer traditional Trinidadian Roti and Doubles at this time I think we are the only ones in Pittsburgh making these. All our food is vegan and we have made some fusion between popular American dishes and the Trini Classics. My favorite dish right now is the Zabaco (Trinidadian word for Avocado) Salad on Coconut Bake. This is my Trinidadian version of Avocado Toast we offer it on the weekends.⁠
⁠
We compost all our food waste using a local compost service called Worm return and we try to buy local and support local businesses as much as possible. Any food that is unsold we donate to a local homeless shelter that is located across the street from our brick and mortar location on Brighton."⁠
