Two years after herPink Sauce stirred up the net,Veronica Shaw — also known as Chef Pii — is rethinking her future as a food-focused content creator.
Shaw revealed that she wants to focus onYouTubeas her primary platform, despite gaining worldwide fame on TikTok. On top of that, she hopes to make longer content as opposed to her short-form videos — and she’s not entertaining any criticism about her Pink Sauce fiasco from two years prior.
“I’m just so ready to move on with my life,” Shaw said. “No more negativity. I don’t have no tolerance for no trolls. If you come on here trolling, saying all kinda unnecessary stuff that don’t need to be said or talking about stuff from two years ago… you will not be acknowledged.”
She also teased some big changes coming to her official Pink Sauce website, saying that she’s “converted back to a small business” from her days partnering with Dave’s Gourmet.

After her creation went viral, Chef Pii started to sell the sauce online out of her home… but buyers noticed a slew of potential problems with the condiment, with some claiming it hadspoiled in the summer heatafter being shipped to their houses.
After the sauce was picked apart by netizens, Chef Pii got her big break when the product gotpicked up by Dave’s Gourmet,who sold her at Walmart locations across the United States.
Dave’s Gourmet countered by claiming they’d paid Shaw $120K and “continued to make all payments as due and on time based upon the terms of the contract.”
Since then, the two have parted ways, and Chef Pii is back to being a small business owner after her Pink Sauce venture encountered major setbacks in the limelight.
