Food: Love Salt? Salt Tastings!

March 18th, 2008 Written by: Louis· No Comments

Table Salt 20080317Wine, cheese, chocolate… It seems like they have tastings for just about anything. And as Caroline on Crack informs us, this really takes the cake:

3 on Fourth will be hosting a having a salt tasting evening, where they’ll be showcasing Himalayan salt, allegedly the world’s purest.

Each dish will also be paired with a sake, which really seems completely random to me. But hey, if you have $45 burning a hole in your pocket and have trouble retaining water, then make a reservation for the March 26th event. Give them a call at (310) 395-6765.

Check out the menu and another salt event after the jump.

Here’s the 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
