A design background and cooking go together like pane e prosciutto, both independently excellent but even better together. Meet Dan “Grossy” Pelosi. His Vodka “Sawce” has gone viral. His grandfather, Bimpy, has become an Instagram sweetheart.

Pelosi’s love for cooking Italian cuisine started as a hobby and has grown into a full-blown brand, online cookbook, resource center, and marketplace in less than a year’s time. From his charismatic cook-along content to his retro “This Too Shall Pasta” fundraising swag line, Pelosi’s cleverly curated culinary journey has only just begun.
