salt house
salt house is one of my favorite restaurants. i fell in love with it the moment i stepped foot inside the former press warehouse. i marveled at the industrial beams, simple-but-stylish light bulbs, mustard leather chairs, and other smart decorative touches. i even fell in love with the melt-in-your-mouth poutine. it strikes a lovely balance between space, decor, ambiance, and food. so i was pretty stoked when i found out i’d be photographing it for eater sf’s gatekeepers.
this was one of my favorite assignments. beautiful hostess, beautiful restaurant. it was pretty much the perfect experience. great example of what can happen when you have a down-to-earth friendly subject, sumptuous lighting, and a wickedly powerful camera. all the elements were in place. i was quite pleased with the way the photos turned out that day. if you’re a friend on flickr and actually give a crap (i wouldn’t), you can see them here. here’s the actual post.

omg, poutine??? as in french fries, gravy, and squeaky cheese curds? That’s great someone this far south is carrying this fine Canadian treat. These articles could use conspicuous address, phone number, google map link, info, et al. There used to be a Hawaiian Fusiony restaurant at that location.

yes, as in that poutine. so damn GOOD there. i could include all those pertinent details, but i guess it can done in one fell swoop when i just include the link to the restaurant. and, i’m lazy.
