Suzanne Podhaizer and Dan Green opened Salt in November 2010 in the Barre Street space previously occupied by Kismet. The former Seven Days food editor and her chef-husband change their eclectic menu every three weeks, with themes ranging from Alsatian specialties to Thomas Jefferson’s garden at Monticello.

SEVEN DAYS: Are there any themes you planned, then abandoned?
SUZANNE PODHAIZER, CO-OWNER: I wanted to start off with themes that would be broadly appealing to people. We’d like to do a medieval menu for which we might make trenchers. We probably won’t make camel stuffed with sheep, like the medieval turducken. I don’t think we can purchase local camel — at least in enough quantity. The chef isn’t really sold on the Great Depression menu, so I’ll have to do some work to get him to agree to that. Geek that I am, I’m eventually going to do a Lord of the Rings theme, too.
