Gastro Garage is an Los Angeles-based catering company that deconstructs classic sandwiches and dishes and reconstructs them into signature “Gastro Tanks,” a savory unsweetened brioche style donut that has been blow torched by one of their skilled “Gastro Mechanics.” The Mechanics then inject them with nitrous foam, and blow torch the toppings, adding finishing oils, purees, and spices. The Gastro Garage is a visually entertaining culinary concept perfect for any type of private party or event.
