The People of the Lounge
Meet our Staff!
Every one of them would do anything for the birds. Most seatings, they do!
Founder & Owner
Crazy Dirk
The man, the myth, the gravy. Dirk built the Lounge so Dover's Turkey Freaks would always have a warm room and a full plate, and he greets every seating personally. Ask him about the true spirit of the turkey, but settle in.
Lead Plucker and Social Media Manager
Patricia
“Hey! I’m Patricia! In addition to handling the social media needs for Crazy Dirk’s Turkey Lounge, I’m also our lead plucker! My record is 169 turkeys plucked in one hour! Beat that!
I find a lot of inspiration for our website and social media from businesses and artists in our community and beyond! One day, I hope to create the ultimate art installation for Dirk. It’ll be complete with payphones, animatronic turkeys, and a human scaled turkey coop!
If there was one turkey fact I think everyone should know it’s: ‘Turkeys shouldn’t breathe gasoline fumes. It’s downright dangerous!’
Most people don’t realize that it can have serious health complications for turkeys (including death!). Be safe out there!!”
Slaughterhouse Manager & Director of R&D
Templeton
“My name is Templeton and I’ve been working here at Dirk’s for almost two years now! When I’m not at the lounge I enjoy biking, reading about genetic engineering, designing luxury turkey coops, and screaming endlessly into the void. While I’ve yet to crack the code on designing the perfect turkey, I think I’m getting close! If you’re a doctor, scientist, or genetics expert take a look at my case studies and let me know how you can help!”
Templeton’s Favorite Meal at Crazy Dirk’s?: “The Wet Mess, there’s nothing I love more than the surprise of seeing what wild vinegars Crazy Dirk discovered for the week!”
Accounting & H.R.
Garvin
Garvin first met Dirk in the summer of ‘97 at his first “TurkeyCon”. They quickly bonded over their love of strongly flavored gullet secretions and disdain for scaly leg mites.
With his crippling social anxiety, Garvin enjoys most of his time behind closed doors in our office, but occasionally makes an appearance for our favorite Wet Gullet Members! Wish him a gobbling good day if you happen to catch him!
Events and Outreach Coordinator
Nutty Bobby
Nutty Bobby is the newest member of our staff.
His application cover letter started with : “If I could have chosen to've been born from a cloaca, I would've.”
The Jury is still out on if we like him all that much. In addition to hosting our stand up comedy nights, he likes playing guitar, tending to the turkeys, and researching scaly leg mites.
Front of House
The Maître d'
Impeccably dressed, endlessly patient, always at his station. He'll see you to your table.
