The idea behind Salt’s Cure is a noble one: every meal is made from ingredients grown and raised in California, all of which are carefully butchered and crafted in-house. And it's not just a tagline here; it's a way of life for the young chef/owners. The challenge of being so noble and sticking to their guns is that the menu ends up being extremely limited. But for the most part, that's a glass half full because the restaurant is so tiny. Really, it's just a kitchen closet with a few tables and chairs gathered around the grill. You can always count on a great burger. And there's almost always a good steak of some sort. Black kale, mashed potatoes, grilled corn...you almost expect to see an old red farm truck parked out front. It's best to get there early because the dish you really want will surely sell out before the night is over.
