In this month’s Chef Talk column, Whimsically Serious, chef Wes Johnson spoke with us about Salt, his restaurant opening today in the Central West End. From the menu to the unique space to the atmosphere he envisions, Johnson revealed what owning his own restaurant means to him.
Now, in the second part of this interview, Johnson discusses his decision to leave Eclipse, where he was the chef de cuisine; what he considers to be the biggest risk in his new venture; and the man he’s learned the most from.
Salt opens today at 4356 Lindell Blvd., at 5 p.m. To read the rest of our interview with Johnson, click here.
