WATERFRONT "SALT-BLOCK GRILLING"

"I've been cooking with Salt Blocks for years" says John Tucker, Managing Partner at The Waterfront. "A major benefit to cooking on a salt block is that it imparts a deeper, more complex flavor profile to your food."Using a salt block slowly gives food a delicate salt flavor, rather than overpowering it, and the low porosity and moisture retention of salt blocks mean they are a naturally antimicrobial. It's the most incredible cooking surface you can use. The Waterfront Grill is proud to be one of the only restaurants in Kentucky that uses custom Salt Blocks to prepare our signature dishes.
