SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June xx, 2014 – Chris Cosentino and FTC San Francisco debut the limited edition food-centric deck in collaboration between the prolific chef and legendary Haight-Ashbury skate shop.

The deck, inspired by prominent skateboarder Mike Carroll’s iconic design of a grumpy kid with a plate of spaghetti, spotlights Cosentino’s notorious love of pork and his enduring relationship with skateboarding. Featuring a colorful illustration of the chef with a fork and knife in hand, seated over a playful pig head and accompanying pint of beer, the Cosentino x FTCSF deck is reminiscent of Chris’ own growth as a chef that bears roots in the sport. An avid skateboarder for over 20 years, Cosentino claims that he was able to “push [himself] to get better every day, [which] kind of set the tone for [him] now” as a renowned chef and entrepreneur.

The limited edition deck, priced at $50, will be available in stores at FTC San Francisco, the brand’s online shop (shop.ftcsf.com), and Chris Cosentino’s website (offalgood.com). FTC San Francisco is located at 1632 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117and is open Monday through Sunday from 11 AM to 7 PM. For more information, visit ftcsf.com.
