Food for Freedom.
Fuel for Thought.

Ghetto Gastro is a Bronx-born culinary collective from Jon Gray, Pierre Serrao, and Lester Walker. We’ve notably defined our own lane, merging food, fashion, music, art, and design.

The Bronx serves as our home, muse and a driver of global culture. It’s where Caribbean, Latin, Asian and African cultures seamlessly thrive together, often creating new flavors of their own – including us.

We’re a flavor company. We layer flavor the same way hip hop layers samples and interpolations: as a way to expand, comment, shake up, share, and revel in our collective memory. To us, “Ghetto” means innovation. It’s in our name as a reminder of why we do what we do and who we do it for: to honor the under-represented, under-estimated and too often ignored. It’s our calling card; a way to say “we see you,” and a way to make sure y’all see us.

We’re storytellers, food enthusiasts, vibe curators, activists, artists, historians, entrepreneurs and everything in between the lines. We create experiences and products that champion race, identity and economic empowerment.

We can’t be easily contained.

Everybody Eats.
