62 Hours in Savannah Vlog - Day One | ChadGallivanter

We spent 62 hours in Savannah, Georgia. On day one, we checked into our room at the new Homewood Suites on River Street and then took in the sights and sounds of Broughton Street. We visited 24e Design Co. (the coolest shop in Savannah), the Savannah Bee, Paris Market, watched ice cream being made at Below Zero and bought some fancy sweets at Chocolat by Adam Turoni.

SBAC Chocolat' By Adam Turoni

Adam Turoni of Chocolat' by Adam talks about his journey from his grandmother's kitchen to owning his own business.
“It all started in my grandmother’s kitchen…”

Adam Turoni recalls fond memories of watching his grandmother in the kitchen when he was just a kid in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was mesmerized by the scents and flavors and combinations that became masterpieces. Although he neither of them knew it at the time, Adam’s passion for food would go far beyond that of necessity. His passion would take time to new places; reserved for innovators and risk takers. His passion would take him from Head Pastry Chef (as a senior in high school) to Master Chocolatier and successful entrepreneur.

Adam now cooks in his own kitchen; a commercial kitchen in Downtown Savannah, where he creates perfection in the form of chocolate. Adam opened his own business and quickly received attention from local and national media outlets.



Adam & SBAC

In 2013, Adam received a loan from SBAC to buy a chocolate tempering machine which kept the chocolate at a liquid state for long periods of time, increasing the chocolate that could be produced. This was needed as the business began to grow rapidly as the retail, catering, and the internet sales began to increase.

It was only a year later that Adam received an opportunity to purchase his retail location and he approached SBAC again. Leaping at the opportunity to help, SBAC approached Adam’s bank, First Chatham Bank, with an opportunity to partner on the project that funded the loan for Adam to purchase his space.

SBAC was pleased to present Adam Turoni of Chocolat by Adam with SBAC’s award for Micro Entrepreneur of the Year 2014.

Generations Meet in the Middle | Alexandra Trujillo de Taylor & Adam Turoni | TEDxSavannah

The complexities of two people from two generations working together in business. The Generation X and the Millennia celebrating common ground and addressing the areas that are more of a challenge.

Alexandra Trujillo de Taylor has lived in Savannah for over 20 years. She met Adam Turoni at a dinner party and was instantly inspired. The more she discovered about Adam the more intrigued she became. His talent and drive inspired her to step in and help a millennial find focus, direction and achieve his dreams by utilizing her negotiation skills, PR and business experience as a freight forwarder (12 years) and her chic eye for curated interiors and design (a lifetime).

Adam Turoni started his career in his grandmother’s kitchen when at age 8, he would have sleepovers and they would stay up for hours baking cookies for the family. It was during those late nights with his grandmother that he discovered his love for baking. At 14, he got his first job working in a kitchen; by 17 he was the pastry chef of Isabella restaurant in Pennsylvania. He interned for six months at Alice Water's restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, and assisted Chef Greweling with research and recipes as he worked on his third book: Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner Second Edition(2013). Adam is a pastry chef and graduate of the 2009 class of the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He founded his eponymous company in 2010 at the age of 20.
