Saturday night at the Moore: outside, long lines waited, people begged for tickets, while inside electricity was in the air, the crowd buzzed about what Anthony Bourdain might say. When he finally took the stage, it was a rock star reception—wild applause disrupted the start of his delivery for several minutes. Bourdain prowled the stage, proud of his accomplishments. He was amazed that what he calls an obnoxious, testosterone-driven, insider’s article about restaurant life......

It’s not the easiest place to find – or to eat. Quirky hours (11-4 Tuesday through Friday), an inevitable line out the door, decision-making on your feet, a communal table… but this is what makes Salumi so special and so memorable.
