LOS ANGELES - Dec. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- (LOS ANGELES; Nov. 5, 2014) - FILL R UP GASTRO MECHANICS are lighting up Los Angeles with new age GASTRO GARAGES and signature TANKS. Offering guests an interactive "gastro good time," FILL R UP deconstructs classic dishes and reconstructs them into delectableTANKS, which are made from a savory brioche style donut that has been torched and filled with a nitrous foam in a variety of flavors. The MECHANICS then torch gourmet toppings and add finishing oils, purees and spices.

"We have created something original that no one has seen or tasted before," said Adam Manacker, co-founder of FILL R UP. "It's all about an experience and experimentation with different flavors, toppings and oils to create the perfect tank. Our guests are so excited they often scream and use profanity! Our garage is currently mobile, and we can't wait for our first permanent location opening in 2015."

Currently, FILL R UP brings its unique taste to events and pop-up locations across Los Angeles, and introduces the chef-meets-mechanic concept to audiences through its GASTRO GARAGES.FILL R UP's signature TANKS include the savory FILLY TANK, with Aged Sharp White Cheddar Foam, Torched New York Strip, Onion Puree and Truffle Salt, and the CUBANO TANK, with Gruyere Foam, Torched 12-Hour Slow Roasted Pork, Applewood Smoked Ham, Mustard Caviar and Dill Plank.
