Known for his innovative approach to plating, Bob Spiegel caters high-end New York events for the Whitney Museum, the New York Philharmonic, and the Cooper Union. In 2011, Spiegel founded Pinch Food Design (@pinchfooddesign) with his business partner TJ Girard, a former set designer, with the intention of elevating party food to fine dining with stimulating presentations.
On his catering style: “Each piece of food is created with its tray, interaction, or pop-up design vehicle in mind. We cannot separate the two.”

At Pinch Food Design’s annual Peep Show, which was held in April in New York, Spiegel and his team debuted a new cocktail station that featured hanging glasses on hooks with large pitchers filled with speciality cocktails, allowing guests to pour themselves a drink.
