Gunshow Team Launches Gunpowder Finishing Salt with Beautiful Briny Sea
Chefs Kevin Gillespie and Joey Ward Team with Atlanta-Based Company on High-Powered Seasoning

ATLANTA (September 29, 2015) – Finishing touches are critical, particularly in the restaurant business.  Atlanta chef, restaurateur, speaker and cookbook author Kevin Gillespie knows this well, which is one reason he and Gunshow executive chef Joey Ward decided to take aim at hitting new heights in flavor with Gunpowder Finishing Salt.  A spice blend crafted in partnership with Atlanta-based Beautiful Briny Sea, a company that creates finishing salts and sugars for seasoning, the blend includes Hawaiian volcanic salt with chipotle, black pepper, garlic, onion, sumac and more, the tangy spice mix has a mineral clean finish with smoky, residual heat.

“Joey and I wanted to create the ultimate umami flavor bomb,” Gillespie says. “Beautiful Briny Sea offered us free reign of their entire ‘spice library’ to experiment, and we think the result amps up any dish without changing the flavor. It goes especially well with grilled meats, fried foods, barbecue or any foods lacking deliciousness." 

Gillespie and Ward had another reason for partnering with the local artisan dry goods company – it is part of their restaurant company's mission. "Red Beard Restaurants was founded with the idea to support other local businesses. Beautiful Briny Sea is a growing Atlanta company working to create great products and represent the South, and we want to play a part in that," Ward says. "Plus, the ‘Gunpowder’ we created with them is just all-around delicious; it will make your tongue wag." 

Gunpowder Finishing Salt is sold in a 5-oz. gold tin reminiscent of a BB pellet container for $15. It is available in the restaurant and online.

Gunshow is located at 924 Garrett Street. The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. Guests may park in the Glenwood Park parking lot and on the street. For more information, visit gunshowatl.com or call 404-380-1886.

  1. I thought you are talking about real gunpowder. I was little bit confused, for real guns and license you can take help from the firearms training centers and licensing.
