Getting to know the Staff: Danly Llantino

Danly came here in October 2018 from Kuwait. He's getting to know the Tropics menu quickly and has already put his mark on our daily specials such as sushi appetizers, Pad Thai dishes and of course he's already roasted a pig in our oven (Can't get more Filipino than that!) Check out our Q&A with Danly below!
