Good Eats' star to represent Diamond Crystal kosher salt

MINNEAPOLIS Cargill, maker of Diamond Crystal kosher salt, announced a new spokesperson relationship with Alton Brown, host of the popular culinary shows "Good Eats," "Iron Chef America" and the "Feasting on ... " series.

"The ability to properly use salt is critical to good cooking," Brown said. "It allows a cook to turn the volume up on certain flavors, fine tune others and create culinary harmony.
