The Journey to
Salty Success
In 2013 Andy and Brook Stowers were empty nesters in Wisconsin. Andy had worked for years in corporate America and Brook was an author and they wanted to do something together.
On a whim, they moved across country to an area where they knew no one, and bought an upscale restaurant in Litchfield, Connecticut, Saltwater Grille.
ABOUT SALT 2.0
Facing an Obstacle Head-On
They were loving the business and the restaurant was growing quickly, and then along came COVID. Without warning, like so many other business owners, they faced a forced closure and needed to quickly pivot to adapt to the challenging times.
Brook and Andy converted one of the small dining rooms into Salt 2.0, a little takeout only business. Soon it was booming with a parking lot full of people supporting the concept. Six months later they opened a second location in Torrington, Connecticut and a year later a third location in Brookfield, Connecticut.

Great Grub for Every Eater
Their goal for Salt 2.0 was to create a menu that truly had something for everyone. Their daughter is a pescatarian, Brook is vegetarian and Andy is a carnivore. They constantly battled to find a takeout place that could accommodate their different tastes. The diverse menu at Salt 2.0 has dishes they all love and is also welcoming for vegans, those eating gluten free or needing food allergy/sensitivity accommodations.
Brook and Andy still own Saltwater Grille in Litchfield and the three Salt 2.0 locations.
