Origin and Production

 The Deli Garage developed Food Finish with a small food manufacturer that provides top quality food coloring to upmarket pastry and cake shops.

The innovation is the spray can — and that’s exactly what makes refining your culinary creations so very easy.

Off with the lid and on with the spray — finito!

Food Finish will chrome-plate or gold-coat anything in the kitchen that comes under its nozzle — from summer strawberries to the Christmas goose.

With two new colors, you’ll have your food blushing red and moody blue in a jiffy.

Food Finish is completely neutral in taste and harmless to eat.

Backstage

 New to the gourmet workshop: Food Finish.

Introducing the worlds first food coloring in a spray can, certified edible and tasteless.

Lovingly designed illustrations grace the silver can, while inspiring images of festive bits and bobs adorn the gold cylinder.

Use Food Finish to refine everything and anything you like — whatever suits your taste.

Just spray to chrome your pretzels or gild your tomatoes or  giant T-bone steak — Food Finish adds a shine to anything that comes under its nozzle.

Like with real paint, its best to apply several thin layers for that perfect finish.

Weve been getting some quite interesting and unusual queries.

For starters, a sheikh placed a large order and wanted to know if it’s alright to spray Food Finish on skin — for a gold banquet, no less.

Then the CBS Morning Show announced theyll be featuring Food Finish in an upcoming show.

If you want to get your hands on some quickly, best order straight from our shop.

The idea for Food Finish came from our love of all things chrome-plated or gilded: you could say its something thats just been in the air, really.

And now, at last, what you see on the plate looks just like whats in a garage: high-gloss lacquered objects your eyes cant get enough of.

……………………………

This has Andersons written all over it — in fact, I can see Mikes thumbprint on that goose.

But I digress.

Gold, Silver, Red, or Blue: $10.
