🥞 Ghetto Gastro
Ghetto Gastro is a culinary collective from the Bronx who have defined their own lane merging food, art, music, fashion and design. They believe that food is an essential vehicle for storytelling that can connect, nourish, and empower people across the globe.
CENTER helped them get retail ready for their big Target launch of Toaster Pastries, Pancake + Waffle Mixes, and Maple Syrups with packaging that is just as bold and colorful as the stories their recipes tell.
This project was designed with CENTER.
