This restaurant is the result of a plan devised by architects Doug and Liza Cruze. The idea behind Salt of the Earth was to give diners a culinary experience that retains all the taste, but strips away traditional fine-dining expense and convention. What remains is the architects’ vision of how modern American dining experiences should look and feel. There is an emphasis on embracing seasonal change, with the dishes and cocktails on offer evolving, depending on the time of year. A rotating list of items on the menu makes the most of fresh local resources. Closed on Sundays, late night dining is an option during the rest of the week.

Burgatory Bar takes two of the things that American cuisine is most well known for (burgers and milkshakes), tears up the guidebook, and creates its own revitalised recipes. The most basic burger is even suffixed with a ‘deluxe‘ tag, which only leads the diner onto even more exciting options on the menu, including veggie, crab, bison, and elk variations of burger. The ‘Heavenly Shakes’ also deserve this title. This is not the place to ask for a simple vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. Burgatry offers exciting combinations of milkshake such as caramel and pretzel, cookies and marshmallow, or even the exciting apple pancakes and bacon shake. There are alternatives for those not wishing to choose a burger, and this reasonably priced restaurant (now a growning chain) prides itself on using meat that is ‘all natural & hormone free’.
