She really ruined her business by acting a fool and not educating herself about the products she was selling. She could've made a lot of $ even if it was a 1 time thing
She’s just another greedy pig who has no problem taking advantage of other people’s generosity while doing the bare minimum & expecting to become rich by manipulating and scamming everyone around her. God help her poor children…she sure is a fantastic role-model. 🙄
Has anyone mentioned to her that anyone can dye their food virtually any color they want? Why is she acting like this is some new exciting discovery 🤦🏻♀️
She's not even a chef though. She never went to culinary school to get trained as a chef, which means she's just a cook. Someone who knows how to treat a cut isn't instantly a doctor
She comes off as very uneducated in all matters of business. She would do herself better to just go to a culinary school and have that behind her to lend some credit to her instead of just wanting to be insta-rich while putting people's health at risk.
Well damn. I've worked kitchens and have had to handle all of the food prep and cooking but I'd never dream of calling myself a chef for that very reason. I was a cook. A pretty good cook tbh but a cook nonetheless.
Frr I was always curious about her career before all this. Bc she was claiming to be an expensive private chef. And before the pink sauce a lot her account was about being a private chef. And yet she didn’t know the FDA 😭😭
At this point I think Dave’s should go after her. She has yet to learn a single lesson. Does it suck that it could effect her kids? Yeah. But that’s life. She made the terrible decisions to repeatedly be selfish and delusional and put herself and her kids in an incredibly shitty situation of facing homelessness when she had more than enough money to afford shit. She had one job, promote the sauce. She was too incompetent for that.
As for her kids, CPS should get involved. She supposedly didn't have money for rent or basic necessities for her children but she suddenly does to launch new products. Something here is not adding up.
I really don’t think any good will come from it. Some people absolutely do dig their heels into the ground and refuse to budge on their perspective regardless of severity of the consequences, and that’s absolutely the personality I get from her actions. I think public efforts to change her mind or get just desserts will inevitably lead to her getting more sympathy from the public, as I don’t see her backing down, and eventually it’s going to start feeling like too much to people. However if there’s a way to support her kids that she can’t steal from, I will 100% be there for it. I think at times like this we need to be thinking about systems that can be implemented in the future that will better protect consumers and kids of bad people instead of prioritizing the public’s hunger for punishment at any cost. You can’t just raise the stakes until somebody finally gets it, in fact people who double down tend to do so more aggressively as stakes are raised. At that point it’s just increasing suffering for her kids and giving her a reason to be sympathized… That’s backwards.
@@semiconscious.snoutband I don't think many people feel that bad for her, do they? She got money for her GFM before DG spoke out. Also I think she's going to just fully financially ruin herself more. She's more interested in buying things that are pink than loving her children. She won't stop living the high life once she's out of money. Her kids need to be taken off her and given to grandma or something. It seriously should never be forgotten she chose this. She repeatedly chose to ruin herself, and refuses to listen.
How does she keep claiming she is poor and going to be homeless when she has money for nails, hundreds of outfits, weird wigs, a pink kitchen, eating a crab leg, and a semi-professional promo video??? Why would I believe you need my help financially?
I had to explain the cost of wigs and weaves to my boyfriend when he asked how she blew through all that money. He asked me why in the hell anyone would do that, especially when you're homeless and have kids who are doing without. I could only answer "narcissism"
To be fair she could just be wearing the same 3 wigs she already owned, and press on nails are way cheaper than acrylics and reusable indefinitely if you take care of them.
Wait, for real tho, what did she use if not artificial coloring?? What foods actually turn that vibrant of a blue??? Most "blue" colored natural foods are toned purple, so where did this blue come from???????

I wonder if Dave's Gourmet could at least sue for $1 or something (kinda like what Gwenyth Paltrow did earlier this year)? Yes she'd have legal fees etc to pay out but I'd hope that would at least encourage her to take responsibility, settle out of court and draw a line under all this.
Tbf that's all she has going on with the sauce. Like no one was buying Pink sauce for the flavour ('cept like, one or two people out of curiosity), they were buying it because it was Pink .

Starting with the FDA, into contracts, to just proper money management. If you didn't keep telling me she had kids, I wouldn't think she did. This is a person who is going to end up hurting someone in a major way, whether that be her children, consumers, or herself. I truly wish we'd stop allowing people like her to keep their platforms once they tarnished it in such ways as this...

i dont either. They had it coming by saving over a questionable person's business trying to get in the ride of an already old trend.And look what happen, they got taken advantage of.
I hope Dave's (and other large corporate partners) learn from this. you reap what you invite into your life, and business. they partnered with an ignorant acting, trashy acting adult child that lacks empathy, and they found out. the fact that she's constantly using her kids as a shield and a source of sympathy should tell everyone all they need to know about the kind of parent she is... despicable behavior.
I would think it would be in the contract that she can't make sauces outside of dave gourmets!?! I bet she still hasn't educated herself on that contract!!!
I would be shocked if there isn't something in there preventing her from releasing competing products, and in particular using the Pink Sauce name?! Who knows though, they've been WAY too generous to this woman.
@lucyjane3803 IKR!!!!!!! She needs a little dose of reality!!!! I know they can't get money from her, but she needs to be taught a lesson!!!! Now what would be crazy is if she did this new stuff and it took off and she started raking in the money, and then they sued her for breech of contract!!!!! That would be poetic justice!!!!!!!!
Didn't Dave's gourmet hire her a lawyer to explain the contract when she started lying about them not paying her? I think I remember hearing that a if not, my bad
I'm in Australia and when I was at culinary school, even I knew what the FDA was and what it meant! We had to learn about HAACP, food safety, hygiene and following TGA (our version of FDA) guidelines, all of which I'm sure she would know little or nothing about
Being really allergic to food dye, I was SUPER concerned about the original sauce because it clearly had food dye in it but she was claiming it didn’t. I don’t trust her to be honest about the correct ingredients. I don’t know her but from where I am standing, she gives me the vibe of someone who doesn’t realize you can have a serious allergy to things other than peanuts or sea food. I’ve met a lot of people who think the more odd/rare the allergy, the less it can make you sick. I do hope she learned her lesson in this, but I’m not putting my health on the line to see if she has.
I have a mild irritation towards citrus fruit and during the time where the label was clearly wrong, I had the exact same concern! I fully do not trust Pii to touch any of my food, she is clearly not a good cook if she can't even be trusted to understand the food she is serving
Well she's obviously an idiot, so the fact that she is oblivious comes as no surprise to me. She Forest Gumped her way to success and through her own actions sabotaged herself. She reminds me of a person who wins the lottery only to find themselves broke a short time later. Yet, somehow worse than that.
Dave’s should pursue legal action because clearly she has money to release new products and to AT LEAST have her realize her mistakes, or for her to just have a legal record that she’s fraudulent and her products are possible danger to consumers
Dude i can't imagine how much me or my familys lives would change with a fraction of that money. Pii is in straight up delulu land and won't come down until the consequences hit her severely.
Yeah, this is so sad. If she had treated this like the supplementary income that it was going to be (even in the best case scenario, you can't live of off sauce loyalties long term), she could have improved her family's living standard and made a good name for herself.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Tea Spill just give up in the middle of a sentence because it’s so ridiculous. The “…whatever” had me SCREAMING I think it’s safe to say we’re all fed up with this sauce lady
The saddest part is, she took probably took away the opportunity for other small businesses to work with Dave’s Gourmet. They’re not going to want to deal with these issues again and might avoid small businesses who really deserve a chance
The worst part about this is now other brands will be more wary and skeptical of other creators who ACTUALLY want and need the opportunity. Truly takes one to ruin it with all
She was SO lucky 😬 despite her mistakes, a big company took over and was giving her royalties… she just had live a middle class life and stop slandering the company that saved her. Maybe invest in another career for the future 🙄
I heard that any food item with natural dragon fruit powder in it, will turn from pink to that peach/beige colour, as time passes. So, Dave's Gourmet actually tried, tested and made an original sauce using the ingredients that "Chef" Pii wrote on her earlier packaging (and it's actually possible to make it, because dragon fruit powder can be used to create emulsions, like in a ranch). Remember, when "Chef" Pii sold her Pink sauce from her kitchen and caused all that drama, the only complaint people had about its colour was that it was in different shades of pink, but never beige/peach. This means that she most probably was just adding pink food colouring in some ranch (unlike the ingredients she listed on the packaging), when she could have made a cool dragon fruit flavoured ranch with the ingredients she listed. Dave's Gourmet seem to be a hardworking company that wanted to support someone whom they mistook to be a genuine small entrepreneur. Now, they'll second guess anytime they feel like supporting another small entrepreneur, who can actually be genuine. What a sad situation!
I actually bought a bottle of the DG version of Pink Sauce, mostly because I found it in Wal-Mart clearance for $3. The sauce is...not good. It tastes like someone took ranch and yum yum sauce mixed it together and then watered it waaaay down, and added a TON of spice to it. It's like a hot sauce level of spice. Also, her idea for making flavor packets to make colored sauced isn't a bad idea. But I'm pretty sure someone could just put food coloring in their sauce if they really wanted it to be another color, and it would probably be way cheaper than her color packets. The way she reacted to all of her controversies has literally soured everyone's opinion towards her. Really don't like how she's trying to garner pity by stating she has anxiety and depression and I don't like how she's trying to appeal to the holistic girlies.
They say they went with what she said was her 'original' recipe: ranch with coloring. Since they used the 'natural' food coloring she claims she used, it would vary in color since nature changes. She clearly used some sort of food coloring to get it pepto pink.
I've had severe depression and anxiety since childhood, and I've never acted like Pii. For her behaviour, you need to get into personality disorders or serious psychosis. Even then, it only explains certain elements of behaviour.
She really ruined her business by acting a fool and not educating herself. like seriously I think in my opinion that she should have educated herself from the beginning and then do the right thing to make the sauce good. But the fact that she doesn’t appreciate the work that Dave has done is just so disgusting and horrible. All she cares about is money and being rich. I don’t see that empire standing that way longer.
I refuse to buy ANY of her products regardless if anyone was to say THIS IS THE BEST SH*T Ever! I'd still be like nope! AND OH Naturally colored.....Like the FDA is not for food...SHE FOR SURE is using color dyes in this. Making it more blue...Damn this trick.
Considering that Dave seems to have a hard time replicating the bright pink color, I wouldn't be surprised if she straight up lied about having put food coloring in the original pink sauce
100% food dye, and what gave it away completely was when the product started getting sold and was fda approved finally, they could not even go near the bright pink color with natural ingredients, like the pink she had on her first sauce.
I assume that they either are trying to talk to her. Or, they're slowly building a case. Legal matters are not really something you want to air out to the public. Plus, if she DOES eventually start selling The REAL Pink Sauce, they could probably make a big case out of that. I would assume there's something going on with DG and Pii.
It cost money to file a lawsuit and pay their lawyers. Even when they won they could not get any of that money back. It would be throwing good money after bad.
@mequelle that went right over your head, didn't it bookie? LOL To save you from further embarrassment, that's a direct quote from her from one of her livestreams where she clearly didn't know what the letters in 'FDA' stood for I'm not quite the idiot you were hoping I was 🙃
I’m a bartender and I own a few colors of powder that I use for fun drinks, pitaya powder isn’t a new thing and neither is powder seasoning;;; I could do that at home with what’s in my spice cabinet 😅
Yeah, she completely ruined her reputation. I would never give her a dime. If she invested her time in showing genuine remorse for what happened when she tried launching that pink poison or taking any accountability in general I think more people would give her another chance. Probably not, but you never know. Lol
Honestly, I suggest you make it yourself.. you need a blender, some frozen or fresh pink dragon fruit, some sunflower seed oil, chili peppers flakes, honey and garlic. That’s it… Blend, now eat!
Not once have I ever been eating chicken strips with ranch, and been like “oh how I wish this ranch was pink or blue.” 😂 why does she keep trying to reinvent food coloring.
You have to admit, she did blow up on TikTok and she did have interested buyers. I think once the novelty of this product wore off it was destined for failure anyway.
this is why you need someone to help you and you gotta be helpable. her website blurb has SO many issues and these sauces are gonna tank what’s left of her career, money and dignity.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t feel bad for Dave’s Gourmet at all. After seeing all that had gone down and Chef Pi being a bad person that disregarded safety, attacked her critics, showed little remorse or common sense, they still went ahead and collabed with her. Dave’s Gourmet is a business after all; the initial reason to collaborate is not because they wanted to be nice but because they thought this TikTok drama is profitable, and collabing with this horrible person is an opportunist move that’s totally on them.
This woman was irresponsible in selling her sauce and now she wants to play victim. And just when you thought it was over she planning on bringing out something else now?! Seems like she's trying to get people to spend money at this point. Her whole attitude with how she handled the situation all while blaming one of her customers on that Kamaro show is a no for me. She brought this all on herself and still trying to sell something
This could have a great idea in terms of perhaps making the colors of the rainbow in sauces. It is very creative and many persons and restaurants would have appreciated it if it was done right. Chef P needs a reality check and if I was DG she would have gotten it already.
can you imagine how well she could have done if she had just sold the recipe digitally and let us make it ourselves? no botulism, no lawsuits, like just a recipe and some tiktok promo
Dave's is coming out of this looking more and more angelic after every update. My image of the brand is just continually getting better; this lady is literally just making them look great and herself look awful.
I’m going into business myself and into entrepreneurship. I’m in college for business and going to get higher education in it. One thing that this idiot (pink lady) has taught me, has to READ, READ, READ, those damn contracts, LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIENCE, and of course BE TRUTHFUL WHEN SELLING PRODUCTS!! I’m starting my first brand soon and can’t wait to maybe get this big one day! Hoping and planning on working way harder than pink lady over here 🥴
Imagine being given such a good opportunity to make something of yourself, provide for yourself and kids and fck it all up as bad as she did. And that after they were way to generous with her and actually trying to help her. That company cared more about the kids having a roof over their heads than their own mother…
I've never heard anyone outright say this but...I think the reason the Pink Sauce never took with Dave's Gourmet is because the public has a lot of disdain for the fact that she put people's health at risk and treated her customers with complete disrespect only for Dave's Gourmet to essentially reward her for her nasty behavior
I really hope Daves closes up their contract with her and then turn around and sue her for slander and return of any monies advanced that were not earned yet and are now owed....pink sauce means nothing...its a gimmick...and this new stuff is a gimmick...quality from someone like this is a joke. Anyone who supports this person after their shady dealings over with Dave's would probably also take money out of a tip jar....gross!
she acts like we didn't live in a time with purple ketchup and everything being dyed green for shrek. they died out and didn't sell well. why would this be different
Yes, she is defying the odds in sharing her cooking because she has somehow managed to avoid killing everyone willing to continue trying her cooking after all of this
Its a real shame because she had a wonderful opprotunity most people in the food industry or even your regular home chefs would dream of and she threw it all away on greed and pride. 😮
so let me get this straight.. she has money for a new product, a new campaign, expensive looking wigs, blue accessories, a new website and HUGE crab legs for the videos on TikTok of the blue sauce…. BUT she doesn’t have money to pay for her rent and for her kids’ school supplies???
If she can afford GIANT crab legs like that, why is she begging for money because she's facing eviction? She said she can't feed her kids but she has the money to make this new product? THE MATH AIN'T MATHIN
It's not hard to colour food naturally without adding food dye. Blue spirulina powder, purple sweet potato powder, beetroot powder, pink pitaya powder, green pandan powder and tumeric can all be added to spices/sauces to change the colour. You just have to play with ratios for ideal flavour
She calls out the sauce for not looking pink enough but it's because Dave's actually went through a safe natural process and stated on their website the color varies due to differing shades of dragon fruit, chef pi was lying from the start and dying the sauce bright pink to gain a following
She really ruined her business by acting a fool and not educating herself about the products she was selling. She could've made a lot of $ even if it was a 1 time thing
Yeah she actually had a great start “A small chef who has a dream of becoming popular” but hard times reveal true colours
Her behavior is disgusting
She’s such a narcissist like unable to take any accountability always manipulating the narrative to be the victim etc 🙄 sigh
She’s just another greedy pig who has no problem taking advantage of other people’s generosity while doing the bare minimum & expecting to become rich by manipulating and scamming everyone around her. God help her poor children…she sure is a fantastic role-model. 🙄
She was also ungrateful when the man on the live show appreciated her for what she was doing
Has anyone mentioned to her that anyone can dye their food virtually any color they want? Why is she acting like this is some new exciting discovery 🤦🏻♀️

I don’t… she was a pr nightmare from the jump.
They tried to be nice and help someone out but you can’t help or do anything positive for people like this…she’s so gross and the lowest of the low
I’m so sick of this lady 😭
we all are at this point.
i think we ALL are sick of this lady
I would think it would be in the contract that she can't make sauces outside of dave gourmets!?! I bet she still hasn't educated herself on that contract!!!
I would be shocked if there isn't something in there preventing her from releasing competing products, and in particular using the Pink Sauce name?! Who knows though, they've been WAY too generous to this woman.
@lucyjane3803 IKR!!!!!!! She needs a little dose of reality!!!! I know they can't get money from her, but she needs to be taught a lesson!!!! Now what would be crazy is if she did this new stuff and it took off and she started raking in the money, and then they sued her for breech of contract!!!!! That would be poetic justice!!!!!!!!
A non-competition clause or similar seems like it would be perfectly reasonable
Didn't Dave's gourmet hire her a lawyer to explain the contract when she started lying about them not paying her? I think I remember hearing that a if not, my bad
@Amanda-oz1qo yes they did, i don't think she accepted the help, though.
pity that during her „studies on food” she didn’t encounter chapter on how to properly store/ship dairy products
Or what FDA stands for
I'm in Australia and when I was at culinary school, even I knew what the FDA was and what it meant! We had to learn about HAACP, food safety, hygiene and following TGA (our version of FDA) guidelines, all of which I'm sure she would know little or nothing about
or a chapter on grammar somewhere during her entire K-12 education
If Chef Pii had spent some of the DG money on therapy/a business coach instead of her birthday party, she probably would have royalties out the a$$
Being really allergic to food dye, I was SUPER concerned about the original sauce because it clearly had food dye in it but she was claiming it didn’t. I don’t trust her to be honest about the correct ingredients. I don’t know her but from where I am standing, she gives me the vibe of someone who doesn’t realize you can have a serious allergy to things other than peanuts or sea food. I’ve met a lot of people who think the more odd/rare the allergy, the less it can make you sick. I do hope she learned her lesson in this, but I’m not putting my health on the line to see if she has.
I have a mild irritation towards citrus fruit and during the time where the label was clearly wrong, I had the exact same concern! I fully do not trust Pii to touch any of my food, she is clearly not a good cook if she can't even be trusted to understand the food she is serving
Well she's obviously an idiot, so the fact that she is oblivious comes as no surprise to me. She Forest Gumped her way to success and through her own actions sabotaged herself. She reminds me of a person who wins the lottery only to find themselves broke a short time later. Yet, somehow worse than that.
Dave’s should pursue legal action because clearly she has money to release new products and to AT LEAST have her realize her mistakes, or for her to just have a legal record that she’s fraudulent and her products are possible danger to consumers
Do the whole sue for $1 thing
Dude i can't imagine how much me or my familys lives would change with a fraction of that money. Pii is in straight up delulu land and won't come down until the consequences hit her severely.
Same
Yeah, this is so sad. If she had treated this like the supplementary income that it was going to be (even in the best case scenario, you can't live of off sauce loyalties long term), she could have improved her family's living standard and made a good name for herself.
She will just blame it on someone else. People like her are incapable of self reflection.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Tea Spill just give up in the middle of a sentence because it’s so ridiculous. The “…whatever” had me SCREAMING I think it’s safe to say we’re all fed up with this sauce lady
Haha that was pretty great
That one got me too 😂😂😂
The saddest part is, she took probably took away the opportunity for other small businesses to work with Dave’s Gourmet. They’re not going to want to deal with these issues again and might avoid small businesses who really deserve a chance
The worst part about this is now other brands will be more wary and skeptical of other creators who ACTUALLY want and need the opportunity. Truly takes one to ruin it with all
Ruin it for all*
She is delusional that her ranch dressing dyed with food coloring is somehow going to be the next big thing 🤦🏻♀️
You can see the food coloring stained on her fingers and nails folks 🤢
you say ranch dressing, i say stomach acid, feet smelling, dookeh looking dressing.
She was SO lucky 😬 despite her mistakes, a big company took over and was giving her royalties… she just had live a middle class life and stop slandering the company that saved her. Maybe invest in another career for the future 🙄
That pink shit made me throw up 🤢
I think this is her basically admitting the reason her sauce was so pink (unlike Daves) is that she dyed it
I swear to god. She claimed to be a professional chef but didnt know what the FDA meant. I learned that working at Walmart!
She's not even a chef though. She never went to culinary school to get trained as a chef, which means she's just a cook
@@Acminyshe has just about as much experience as a chef the same way a McDonald's employee has 😭 if not LESS experience
caca
I heard that any food item with natural dragon fruit powder in it, will turn from pink to that peach/beige colour, as time passes. So, Dave's Gourmet actually tried, tested and made an original sauce using the ingredients that "Chef" Pii wrote on her earlier packaging (and it's actually possible to make it, because dragon fruit powder can be used to create emulsions, like in a ranch). Remember, when "Chef" Pii sold her Pink sauce from her kitchen and caused all that drama, the only complaint people had about its colour was that it was in different shades of pink, but never beige/peach. This means that she most probably was just adding pink food colouring in some ranch (unlike the ingredients she listed on the packaging), when she could have made a cool dragon fruit flavoured ranch with the ingredients she listed.
Dave's Gourmet seem to be a hardworking company that wanted to support someone whom they mistook to be a genuine small entrepreneur. Now, they'll second guess anytime they feel like supporting another small entrepreneur, who can actually be genuine. What a sad situation!
I actually bought a bottle of the DG version of Pink Sauce, mostly because I found it in Wal-Mart clearance for $3. The sauce is...not good. It tastes like someone took ranch and yum yum sauce mixed it together and then watered it waaaay down, and added a TON of spice to it. It's like a hot sauce level of spice. Also, her idea for making flavor packets to make colored sauced isn't a bad idea. But I'm pretty sure someone could just put food coloring in their sauce if they really wanted it to be another color, and it would probably be way cheaper than her color packets. The way she reacted to all of her controversies has literally soured everyone's opinion towards her. Really don't like how she's trying to garner pity by stating she has anxiety and depression and I don't like how she's trying to appeal to the holistic girlies.
They say they went with what she said was her 'original' recipe: ranch with coloring. Since they used the 'natural' food coloring she claims she used, it would vary in color since nature changes. She clearly used some sort of food coloring to get it pepto pink.
I've had severe depression and anxiety since childhood, and I've never acted like Pii. For her behaviour, you need to get into personality disorders or serious psychosis. Even then, it only explains certain elements of behaviour.
Dave’s never should’ve partnered with her. Her business was a mess from the very beginning.
She really ruined her business by acting a fool and not educating herself. like seriously I think in my opinion that she should have educated herself from the beginning and then do the right thing to make the sauce good. But the fact that she doesn’t appreciate the work that Dave has done is just so disgusting and horrible. All she cares about is money and being rich. I don’t see that empire standing that way longer.
In her own words she’s “not special”.
Pink Sauce Gate is already 1 year? Time goes by quickly.
I refuse to buy ANY of her products regardless if anyone was to say THIS IS THE BEST SH*T Ever! I'd still be like nope!
AND OH Naturally colored.....Like the FDA is not for food...SHE FOR SURE is using color dyes in this. Making it more blue...Damn this trick.
Considering that Dave seems to have a hard time replicating the bright pink color, I wouldn't be surprised if she straight up lied about having put food coloring in the original pink sauce
That damn TRICK!!!
100% food dye, and what gave it away completely was when the product started getting sold and was fda approved finally, they could not even go near the bright pink color with natural ingredients, like the pink she had on her first sauce.
Damn that trick!! 😂
She’s trying to hang on with what little relevancy she has 🤦♂️
She's the type of person that will NEVER admit to being wrong or apologize
If you're eating those big snow shoe crabs, I don't think you're hurting for money😮
On the contrary. I think this is why she is broke. She has a reputation of hemorrhaging money.
Why has Dave’s not pursued legal action? They were being way too accommodating.
I assume that they either are trying to talk to her. Or, they're slowly building a case. Legal matters are not really something you want to air out to the public.
Plus, if she DOES eventually start selling The REAL Pink Sauce, they could probably make a big case out of that. I would assume there's something going on with DG and Pii.
they’re probably dating and this is all a pr stunt
Some other video answered this. The gist of Dave's response was along the lines of: what's the point? She's clearly broke.
It cost money to file a lawsuit and pay their lawyers. Even when they won they could not get any of that money back. It would be throwing good money after bad.
if I wanted colorful sauces I just can buy food coloring... and mix it with sour cream or mayo...
True.
😂
What do you mean she has FDA violations?
SHE DOESN'T SELL MEDICAL PRODUCTS! 😂
What do you think FDA stands for?? FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION
@@mequelle woosh
@@mequelleit's a quote from her haha
@mequelle that went right over your head, didn't it bookie? LOL
To save you from further embarrassment, that's a direct quote from her from one of her livestreams where she clearly didn't know what the letters in 'FDA' stood for
I'm not quite the idiot you were hoping I was 🙃
@@flushthecatnipget her jade 🤣
I’m a bartender and I own a few colors of powder that I use for fun drinks, pitaya powder isn’t a new thing and neither is powder seasoning;;; I could do that at home with what’s in my spice cabinet 😅
how do you do bleu with your spice cabinet? i'm curious
@@tikal8746blue spirulina powder. Or you could also use butterfly pea flower though that will turn purple if you use it with anything acidic.
@@Acminy thank you
"Check out her mer- whatever" KILLED ME, I love you girl 🤣😭
We appreciate your insights. Your effort and hard work shouldn't go to waste.
CAN WE STOP CALLING HER A CHEF PLSSSSS 😭it's an insult to real chefs.
the Pii should be spelled "Pee".
THANK YOU!!!! CHEF MY A$$! It's so sad that people are calling her this! By the way Hi! I'm Dr. Kat 👋😂😂
Yeah, she completely ruined her reputation. I would never give her a dime.
If she invested her time in showing genuine remorse for what happened when she tried launching that pink poison or taking any accountability in general I think more people would give her another chance. Probably not, but you never know. Lol
Honestly, I suggest you make it yourself.. you need a blender, some frozen or fresh pink dragon fruit, some sunflower seed oil, chili peppers flakes, honey and garlic. That’s it… Blend, now eat!
Don't forget Ranch.
😂
TBH I'm not even gonna do that.
I ran so fast to the notification I tripped and dropped my tea 🍵 lol
i dropped my energy drink....
Girl I choked on my quesadilla lol
😂😂😂
Here's some more 🫖🍵
Not once have I ever been eating chicken strips with ranch, and been like “oh how I wish this ranch was pink or blue.” 😂 why does she keep trying to reinvent food coloring.
You have to admit, she did blow up on TikTok and she did have interested buyers. I think once the novelty of this product wore off it was destined for failure anyway.
this is why you need someone to help you and you gotta be helpable. her website blurb has SO many issues and these sauces are gonna tank what’s left of her career, money and dignity.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t feel bad for Dave’s Gourmet at all.
After seeing all that had gone down and Chef Pi being a bad person that disregarded safety, attacked her critics, showed little remorse or common sense, they still went ahead and collabed with her. Dave’s Gourmet is a business after all; the initial reason to collaborate is not because they wanted to be nice but because they thought this TikTok drama is profitable, and collabing with this horrible person is an opportunist move that’s totally on them.
You're right. She had a track record of being difficult. They should have known better.
I mean they were VERY nice to her by giving her way more money than they had too
Bro every time I think this arc has ended it just keeps going 😩😂😂
Why are people still calling her "chef" lmao
I don't know... Dr. Yankis 😂😂😂 I'm Dr. Kat hi how are you? 😹😹
That little “whatever” is sending me 😂😂😂😂
Having multi colored sauces is such a fun idea but she ruined her business by being a fool
I really truly hope Dave’s gourmet goes after her ass for all the money she probably owes them and the financial damage she caused them 🤞🏼
She’s “broke” and dippin huge king crab legs into a cream based sauce?!
She can do that cause Dave's and gofundme are paying her rent.
Her catastrophic business behavior will be a cautionary tale for generations in marketing schools
This woman was irresponsible in selling her sauce and now she wants to play victim. And just when you thought it was over she planning on bringing out something else now?! Seems like she's trying to get people to spend money at this point. Her whole attitude with how she handled the situation all while blaming one of her customers on that Kamaro show is a no for me. She brought this all on herself and still trying to sell something
This could have a great idea in terms of perhaps making the colors of the rainbow in sauces. It is very creative and many persons and restaurants would have appreciated it if it was done right. Chef P needs a reality check and if I was DG she would have gotten it already.
Cmon… no one gives a damn what color their sauces are
Ignorance and arrgrance was a person 🤦🏽♀️💀
I feel so bad for Dave’s Gourmet :(
I’ve never seen anything so ungrateful in my life.
Do you know how many times whenever I dip my food into some sauce, I wanted the sauce to be lighter/darker/different color?
NEVER.
"Learn from my mistakes."
Girl, please!😂
can you imagine how well she could have done if she had just sold the recipe digitally and let us make it ourselves? no botulism, no lawsuits, like just a recipe and some tiktok promo
No, because people could easily share the recipe instead of buying from her.
the videos of her just messily eating give me the ick so badlyyy
I cackled at the title 😂❤
But for real! She needs to relax.
the blue sauce (it looks purple to me) is probably just another regular sauce with butterfly pea flower tea in it.
"She landed a deal in major retail within less than six months of going viral" what a beautiful and short way to not tell what actually happened.
I guess Dave's Gourmet essentially told her that she is "not special" 😂
Dave's is coming out of this looking more and more angelic after every update. My image of the brand is just continually getting better; this lady is literally just making them look great and herself look awful.
At this point, we can just get food coloring and pour it in our sauces. People should stop giving this pink lady the attention. She hasn't learned.
I’m going into business myself and into entrepreneurship. I’m in college for business and going to get higher education in it. One thing that this idiot (pink lady) has taught me, has to READ, READ, READ, those damn contracts, LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIENCE, and of course BE TRUTHFUL WHEN SELLING PRODUCTS!! I’m starting my first brand soon and can’t wait to maybe get this big one day! Hoping and planning on working way harder than pink lady over here 🥴
Even more importantly, be financially responsible
best of luck to you! 💖
I'm convinced the new sauce is blue to hide potential mold. I mean look at that rancid thing at 8:58
I was wondering what that darker blue stuff was like it doesn’t look good at all
This is why I have trust issue with food related things or anything that hasn't been tested multiple times.
"The Pink Sauce Lady"
I CAN'T OVER YOU PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW HER NAME AFTER THE LIKE 10TH VIDEO AHAHASDFLJFDJKSL
😭😭😭😭😭
Imagine being given such a good opportunity to make something of yourself, provide for yourself and kids and fck it all up as bad as she did.
And that after they were way to generous with her and actually trying to help her.
That company cared more about the kids having a roof over their heads than their own mother…
The "About chef PI" Is.... HILARIOUS XD
Sooo...she's incapable of learning any sort of lesson?
I've never heard anyone outright say this but...I think the reason the Pink Sauce never took with Dave's Gourmet is because the public has a lot of disdain for the fact that she put people's health at risk and treated her customers with complete disrespect only for Dave's Gourmet to essentially reward her for her nasty behavior
I really hope Daves closes up their contract with her and then turn around and sue her for slander and return of any monies advanced that were not earned yet and are now owed....pink sauce means nothing...its a gimmick...and this new stuff is a gimmick...quality from someone like this is a joke. Anyone who supports this person after their shady dealings over with Dave's would probably also take money out of a tip jar....gross!
Why is this a real life version of the pretty patty episode from SpongeBob lmaooo
she acts like we didn't live in a time with purple ketchup and everything being dyed green for shrek. they died out and didn't sell well. why would this be different
I know right 😂. She acts like she only one came up with this revolutionary sauce.
😂
😂
She means adding color pigment to our sauces lol this girl
I cannot believe that she was essentially expecting them to cover her *ridiculously high* living expenses IN ADDITION TO profits. How ridiculous.
how has she not been arrested
This is the Tim and Eric skit with the mustard
Yes, she is defying the odds in sharing her cooking because she has somehow managed to avoid killing everyone willing to continue trying her cooking after all of this
She knows we have food coloring right 🙄
Its a real shame because she had a wonderful opprotunity most people in the food industry or even your regular home chefs would dream of and she threw it all away on greed and pride. 😮
so let me get this straight.. she has money for a new product, a new campaign, expensive looking wigs, blue accessories, a new website and HUGE crab legs for the videos on TikTok of the blue sauce…. BUT she doesn’t have money to pay for her rent and for her kids’ school supplies???
I was just looking through yt to find smth to watch while I eat - a notification pops up. Thank you Tea Spill ❤
I love when that happens
Dave is probably waiting until she makes profit from her new sauces to sue.
can we stop calling this lady chef p? girl made ranch look like pepto bismol and she calls herself a chef 🥴
If she can afford GIANT crab legs like that, why is she begging for money because she's facing eviction? She said she can't feed her kids but she has the money to make this new product? THE MATH AIN'T MATHIN
All her money went to her wigs and crab legs lmao
@@jessicawilliams3849 at least the wigs are pretty I guess lmao, I hope the kids are being fed though
Pitaya and dragon fruit are essentially the same thing
She should be prohibited from using the term "chef." Seriously.
It's not hard to colour food naturally without adding food dye. Blue spirulina powder, purple sweet potato powder, beetroot powder, pink pitaya powder, green pandan powder and tumeric can all be added to spices/sauces to change the colour. You just have to play with ratios for ideal flavour
She calls out the sauce for not looking pink enough but it's because Dave's actually went through a safe natural process and stated on their website the color varies due to differing shades of dragon fruit, chef pi was lying from the start and dying the sauce bright pink to gain a following
I RAN SO FAST.
The end of the statement when you said “ehh whatever” had me cracking up😭😭😭
I tried it when it came to walmart. Straight up just tasted like carrots lol
