I have reviewed hundreds of restaurants and
I am always astonished at how little attention restaurateurs
pay to their patrons’ first impression, the menu.

Taste Envy is a long overdue concept.

As fanatical foodies, Nadine and Jason have always been dismayed about the lack of good menu design. We’ve just finally decided to do something about it.

Menu design and production

 

We build all our menus to order, by hand in Seattle, WA. We use exact specifications, impeccable quality and expert craftsmanship and details that only our designs can yield. From menu covers that come in a variety of materials to a check presenter that will, of course, inspire envy.

Menus never had it this good.


Out & About

Nadine & Jason are regularly seen dining around Seattle

with their children, who are now avid foodies.

 


Our Foundation

“It was a natural progression,” said Jason Brown, co-owner and founder of
Lost Luggage. “The menu industry is in a similar state to that of the
presentation industry when I first started in 1994. I’m finding that our experience
in presentation design easily translates to menus.

Orders

We work closely with our patrons to create custom menu covers. We believe menus are an integral part of the dining experience and should be viewed as the presentation: the story of what you are and what your customer can expect. Let us help you create the presentation your food deserves.

If Seller makes any modifications to Customer’s purchase order, such modification shall be noted on Seller’s written acceptance of the purchase order and shall act as a counter-offer, and Customer shall indicate its acceptance of the modified purchase order in writing to Seller. No purchase order shall be effective unless and until it has been agreed to by both parties in writing. Orders may not be cancelled after acceptance by Seller without Seller’s written consent and at Seller’s sole discretion.
