Can you say, "Nanny State"?
Okay, I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming or if I was reading this in The Onion:
MYFOXNY.COM - Some New York City chefs and restaurant owners are taking aim at a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.
"No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises," the bill, A. 10129 , states in part.
The legislation, which Assemblyman Felix Ortiz , D-Brooklyn, introduced on March 5, would fine restaurants $1,000 for each violation.
I feel like we're in a Tim Burton movie! Is it April Fools yet? The only good thing is that this could bring about a serious revival in home cooking.
