What is Ghetto Gastro?

A movement and a philosophy. A culinary collective. It’s a little vague, we know, but we are a difficult crew to contain within boundaries. We call our work gastro diplomacy because we use food and finesse to open borders and connect culture.

Food for freedom. Fuel for thought.
