ANDY SCHLOSS - " CHEF SALT"
Award-winning cookbook authors, grill masters, and the creators of Chef SaltTM, Andy Schloss and David Joachim, show how the right salt can turn an ordinary summer barbecue into something extraordinary.

Best-selling cookbook authors, grilling experts, and food connoisseurs, David Joachim and Andy Schloss, have set out to help home cooks master the art of using salt for quick and easy delicious outdoor grilled meals this summer. Last year they created Chef Salt, a unique line of hand-crafted, small batch artisanal salts, and began educating consumers on the art of salt.
