A NEW ADDITION TO SALT...... |
Say "HI" to Ralph.....Ralph is the newest addition to the "Salt Family". Ralph is a 8 year old pure bred English Bulldog, a "Bully" and was a rescue from the City of Poughkeepsie Animal Shelter. He quite spry for his 8 years and full of snot and charm. Ralph will be hanging at Salt most days keeping me and the staff company as well as making his rounds downstairs once in a while. Ralph likes to keep the exercise down to a bare minimum, so you may not see him "running" the property, but perhaps on one of his leisurely strolls. |

NEW ... CUPCAKES ... FRESH DAILY! |
New to Salt....CUPCAKES....
We will be baking cupcakes fresh every morning, 2 dozen a day, so when they are gone, they are gone.
Best thing is that we are using "Magnolia Bakery" recipes for the cupcakes as well as the buttercream icing!! YUM YUM!!!!!!
update!!
After an overwhelming initial response to our new cupcakes we have decided to start taking orders on them. We will be selling them by the dozen at $20.00 dollars a dozen. Right now we are only doing vanilla cupcakes with assorted colored butter creams. These cupcakes as well as the icings are all made from scratch right here at Salt daily. Orders just need to be put in 24 hrs in advance. So think birthdays,summer barbeque's, holidays, Monday's, Thursday's....whatever the occassion, every day is a good cupcake day!! Enjoy!

Australia's Barons Brewing Co. "Black Wattle Original Ale"
 5.8% ABV
Barons Black Wattle Original Ale was the first in this new class of beer - flavoured by native Australian roasted wattle seed. This multi award-winning ale has a rich amber colour and a base malt flavour of toffee and caramel. The roasted wattle seed rounds out the offering with a unique taste that hints of hazelnut, chocolate and mocha. It is a full bodied, full flavoured beer that is surprisingly smooth with an amazingly silky finish.
“With a long summer of BBQs approaching, this’ll be my BBQ beer. Brilliant with a butterflied leg of lamb or even something a little more gamey like roo.” says Head Brewer and Brewing Baron, Richard Adamson.
In crafting the Barons Native Range, Scott and Rich have delivered a new style of natural and preservative free beers where the flavour is driven by native Australian spices rather than hops. It feels as Australian in the mouth as “pass the snag, mate!”
cheers!

Project "Welcome Home" |
We are bringing to Salt something we had started at bula, and something Laurie and I feet strongly about....Project "Welcome Home".
We are offering a night out on us to anyone returning from being deployed overseas fighting for our country. If there is anyone who deserves a nice meal, a hand-shake, a BIG THANK YOU, and a night out with his/her loved one its these guys/gals. We offer complimentary dinner for two, and it's our way of saying Thank You.
We will be working with local police dept's and VFW halls, and just ask any of YOU, if you are, or know of anyone returning home from service to contact us or just stop in. This is in no-way a "Hand-Out"...this is a "Thank You".
So as we are enjoying our summer here in beautiful Sussex County and enjoying spending time with OUR family and friends, let's just all remember these Men and Women who are overseas putting there asses on the line for us day-to-day.
Welcome Home! |

New Jersey's First Gastropub |
Bradley and Laurie Boyle of Byram Township are the former owners of Bula Restaurant in Newton. Bula received many accolades including those from the New York Times, ZagatSurvey, and The Star Ledger. Having recently sold Bula, the Boyles have embarked on a new venture in Byram. After purchasing the property formerly known as 76er’s Waterloo Inn, the Boyle’s set to work to open Salt, a Gastropub. Of course, the explaining they have had to do is defining exactly what a “gastropub” is.
Back in 1991, the first-ever gastropub, The Eagle, was opened in Clerkenwell, London . What differentiated The Eagle from a typical English pub was the emphasis placed on the quality of food served. In the simplest terms, a gastropub is a restaurant with a relaxed pub-like setting, offering a particular cuisine prepared as well as it is in the best restaurants. Staying true to the format requires a menu that complements the assortment of beers and wines a gastropub offers. Fare at a gastropub is priced to encourage frequent visits to the establishment.
The Gastropub trend made its way across the Atlantic in 2004 with the opening of New York ’s trendy West Village gastropub, The Spotted Pig. Since then, more establishments have opened across the country. After extensive research, the Boyles have determined Salt to be the first New Jersey gastropub. The couple plan to open Salt in April. For more information you can call the restaurant at 973.347.7258, or check their blog at saltgastropub.blogspot.com.
