Bonanno goes bananas for deli fare

June 16, 2014

Salt & Grinder, 3609 W. 32nd Ave., the newest restaurant from Frank “Energizer Bunny” Bonanno, opened last week serving deli fare.

On Wednesday, Bonanno will host a celebration at the new deli, gifting the first 100 people through the door at 11 a.m. $50 S&G gift cards. Salt & Grinder is the 11th restaurant to join the Bonanno Concepts family. As Bonanno described in a recent guest column in The Denver Post, Salt & Grinder represents — and is a tribute to — some of his earliest childhood memories.

“Salt & Grinder is something that’s been in my head for a while, ever since I moved to Denver to attend college … I get to bring a piece of my New Jersey boyhood to Denver,” Bonanno said. “As someone who grew up in New Jersey, walking to the neighborhood deli was often part of my routine with friends or family. Simple, straightforward and always dependable – that was our deli. Not fancy, just a great sandwich. I’ve always wanted to create that kind of spot, and the Highlands Square neighborhood is perfect for that.”

Salt & Grinder is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, serving both morning and afternoon deli fare, including New Jersey classics and original Bonanno creations.
