Red Hot @ Red Seven & Saltistry

Red Hot @ Red Seven, was billed as the exclusive VIP event to proceed the huge Universal Backlot event. Red Hot was Friday September 26th at the Pacific Design Center. Hosted by Wolfgang Puck to celebrate the 26th American Food & Wine Festival. All of his chef's and a handful of other chefs were there serving up beautiful tastes of spectacular beef; Craft LA, Cut, Lawry's, 8 oz, Montage and La Brea Bakery. Our little spread seemed like an interesting addition to the event. Not sure if people were just super hungry and replaced dinner with this event but the guests were going crazy! There were over 500 guests and they ate everything and I mean everything we brought (which was a lot)! It was exhausting and a blast to expose our humble yet powerful salts to a new group of tastebuds! Were happy to take a little break from these whirlwind events for a few weeks. We'll see everyone at Great Chefs of LA in November and were also doing a Salt Tasting for the Winehouse at their restaurant Upstairs on October 30th.

Savor the Season & Saltistry

The official foodie charity "season" started with Savor the Season, Saturday, September 21, at the beautiful Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. We participated last year for the first time and made a lot of new friends in the VIP lounge. Bonnie Graves, Madame Chocolate and Andrew's Cheese Shop had beautiful tables and tasty treats. This year we were the first table in the VIP lounge again and had such an overwelming response. Many a guest told us, as they came by for their tenth taste of the truffle pee wee potatoes, that we were the "best in show"! What a wonderful compliment.


Bonnie Graves and crew provided lovely libations all evening.

Saltistry kicks off Party Season

Saltistry began the fall holiday Salt Party season with its end of the summer bash at the Shampoo Lounge in West Los Angeles. Lots of newbies were crazy for the usual suspects, Truffle Salt and Pee Wee Potatoes, Lavender Salt and Caramels, and Skirt Steak with Smoked Chili Salt. Tending to the all important duty of bartender, Maria was mixing up Salty Dogs, Bloody Mary's, killer Margarita's (with recipe to follow soon on Saltsmith) and she even improvised a tasty Michelada! Thanks to Holly Jones, Michael and all our talented friends at the Shampoo Lounge for hosting us at such a beautiful and artistic space! Also thanks to Sally Aristei of See Sally Shoot for gracing Saltistry with more of her wonderful photography.
