Salt Tastings are a Beautiful Thing!

Here in L.A. we're throwing our first big Gala Salt Tasting Event and the response has been phenomenal (see post below for details). Meanwhile, the LA Food Blog scene is talking about Saltistry's Salt Tasting as well as another cool tasting going on at Chef Daniel Snukal's restaurant 3 on Fourth. Now, I know we have lots of die-hard fans out there and several of our loyal customers are screaming foul over these events happening so close together. But the truth is, everyone loves great salt, especially a chef. Chef Daniel is showcasing a beautiful Sake maker beside some interesting salt curing and inventive salt preparations. In my book, any salt tasting is a beautiful thing and I highly recommend checking out both events if you can do it. Here's the 3 on Fourth menu and info :

Chef Daniel's Tasting Menu

  • Himalayan Salt-seared asparagus and Wagyu beef
  • Himalayan Salt-cured halibut and Kampachi Sashimi
  • Housemade potato chips with citrus salt
  • Sweet cherry port jellies with fleur de sel

And if you’re still famished after the $45 event, there’s a $35 prix fixe dinner available downstairs to salt tasting attendees.

6:30-8 pm. Wednesday, March 26. For reservations, call (310) 395-6765. 3 on Fourth, 1432A Fourth Street, Santa Monica
