What if a Food & Cocktail Photographer Designed a Food &Cocktail Dining Experience?
After 15 years spent behind the lens capturing the essence of bars, restaurants, food, cocktails, guests, and the energy of a great night out, Zack Perl realized something: he wasn’t just documenting experiences—he was quietly gathering all the insights needed to create one. From the way lighting transforms skin tones and sets a mood, to how glassware and plating enhances the color and texture of a dish, Zack understood that the best hospitality is both seen and felt. Some seating arrangements naturally create a beautiful muse and cinematic scene. Certain textures photograph better under warm tones while others capture the attention of content driven guests. And when you bring together the stylist’s eye, the chef’s palate, and the mixologist’s flair—magic happens. So, he built Tango & Dough—a modern, sexy, wood-fired lounge designed not only to serve incredible small bites and signature cocktails, but to stimulate every sense, especially the visual. It’s a space where content practically creates itself, and guests become the stars of their own cinematic dining moment. Tango & Dough isn’t just a place to eat. It’s a curated experience where fire meets finesse, and every corner is ready for its close-up
