They met 10 years ago at Casa Tua and have worked at Barceloneta and Pubbelly Sushi, no slouches! Glad to hear they are not compromising on quality of ingredients and flavor and delivering a “memorable experience”!  Love name “Pinch Kitchen”, supposed to reflect how they cook…pinch of spices, garnishes or whatever, that’s how I cook, yay!  Look forward to tasting their cooking.
