Ghetto Gastro is a New York-based collective of chefs and food enthusiasts with deep ties to the Bronx that was formed in 2012. They are a global mainstay of food as culture using ancestral ingredients to bring a multitude of flavors and recipes to eaters everywhere. The collective creates experiences around the world, making delicious food and collaborating with the best-in-class partners to intersect fashion, art, activism, design, and music—showing how food truly connects us all. They use food as a weapon to make an impact in their community and big-up the Bronx as a driver of global culture. Ghetto Gastro is also a philosophy: to bring the Bronx to the world and the world to the Bronx, with food as the portal. They have a retail line available at Target and Williams-Sonoma. The collectives ideology is codified in their cookbook, Black Power Kitchen. The term "ghetto" represents resilience, innovation, and creativity to them, and it means home, while "gastro" signifies their intention to revolutionize your.
