We have nothing against conventional catering, it's just not what we do.

Led by groundbreaking chef/designer duo of Bob Spiegel + TJ Girard, Pinch is driven by an uncompromising commitment to incite surprise, anticipation + delight with every bite while wowing our clients + their guests with imaginative presentation combinations that redefine the art of celebration.

As top-tier NYC culinary veterans with extensive experience in event catering, we believe our clients deserve a taste of something new and unpredictable, an experience that leverages the best food with never-before-seen presentation. So we created Pinch Food Design, 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.” Our intention? To impress, entertain and inspire with food as delicious as it is daring, and design as inviting as it is innovative.

    We worked with Pinch for our wedding at the Weylin in Brooklyn and they really exceeded our expectations and were incredible to work with. - Multicultural wedding - Pinch is one of the few caterers we've found who was able to incorporate Indian cuisine seamlessly, along with American fare, which was very important to us. And Pinch was able to do this in a way that felt authentic to us and created a menu that was balanced and complementary (pani puri and Biryani Arancini for example) - Innovative: Pinch's pop-ups during cocktail hour and dessert are very unique and were naturally a point of conversation for our guests. The crispy potato sandwiches served hanging down from an umbrella and the compressed fruit cocktails that replicated the US Open's Honey Deuce went beyond what we thought we could expect for the food at our wedding - Attention to detail: Pinch's service is quite a bit better than what we've experienced from caterers at other weddings. For instance, Pinch's team only served a table when each guest's food at a given table was ready and all plates are served simultaneously, which feels like more like what you'd experience at a higher end restaurant vs. the conveyer belt-style service you typically see at a wedding Several of our guests told us they were chasing around Pinch staff during cocktail hour to try more of the food and said that this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

    I have had the good fortune to work with Carly on a number of occasions, both on the planning side and the venue management side, and am constantly impressed with her attention to detail and devotion to making sure her clients are happy and that their event goes off without a hitch. She is also an absolute joy to be around, so not only will your food be phenomenal and you'll get to work with an A+ team, you'll have the best time throughout the planning!

  • Excellent service and unique food presentation

    We were looking for something special with our catering. We didn't want the typical wedding meal that we've had so many times. We wanted delicious food but a unique, creative approach. Pinch was great! Over 6 months later, friends are still talking about the stations we had at our cocktail hour, the interesting presentation of our salad course, our passed around desserts, and our delicious signature cocktail. Plus, Carly and her team are amazing to work with. They're patient and tons of fun.
