At Finell, we love design and food. So when we met Pinch Food Design during our 2014 launch at the NY Now gift fair, it was a perfect match.

Pinch Food Design, led by the groundbreaking chef/designer duo of Bob Spiegel and TJ Girard, is a bold new brand of catering powered by a state-of-the-art kitchen and design workshop devoted solely to the creation of one-of-a-kind “food furniture.” We are excited to share our recent chat with TJ and Bob of Pinch, where we talk about their first Cookbook Inspired Bites, and got to learn some of their great serving tips and secrets.


Describe Pinch Food Design in 5 words.
Delicious, Delightful, Memorable, Thoughtful, Fun

You reveal trade secrets in your new book, Inspired Bites. Can you share one with us?
Instead of looking down at the food, get guests looking up at the room and each other. Don’t be afraid of change the vantage point of service by suspending platters from chandeliers, etc.

We love entertaining, but we know that it never goes as smoothly as planned. How did you save a potential party disaster?
Teamwork. Assessing the issues and working together to find a quick solution…

You are known for your unique and imaginative ways for displaying food. Of all your food design displays, which one causes the biggest reaction?

The innovative product shapes and angles.  The refined mix of food safe materials – glass, walnut, silicone, polished stainless steel….  The overall thoughtfulness and emphasis on function.
