I am almost always hungry….
We’ve been coming upstate for a couple of years, and hearing about it for much longer. We landed in Hudson and not knowing many people up here made it a little too difficult to find out where to buy good food, what’s going on, where there are like-minded people. When we first got here, all we knew was Price Chopper and Red Dot. Thank heavens for Baba Louie’s, Wasabi and Red Dot…
But we’re not here to go out to restaurants all the time. I bake and cook. Mostly I love to bake, but being in Columbia County as the local food movement grows has been fantastic! My own little local food spot is my tiny heirloom tomato garden and fresh herbs that I keep in pots on the back porch. Remind me sometime to tell you about Chuck the woodchuck.
There are a lot of great (food) businesses that are either growing or moving into the area so I want to get the word out there. I would love your input – who have I forgotten, or not discovered yet???
Let’s eat! I’m…

I’ve heard a rumor that Coach operations might be moving closer to Hudson if not in Hudson – any truth to that??? I’m not sure that we could handle all the goats, but we would be happy to have another local cheese available in town. Let us know!

Hey guys!! Where’s the Blue Plate on your extensive list? We’ve entered our 15th year in Chatham, have been quietly supporting local farms for all that time. Although we rarely blow our own horn, we feel we ought to share in kudos for raising the bar on the local culinary scene.

(No slight intended! It’s getting hard to keep track of all the great places to eat!)

“Other People’s Food”
Relish a Pot-luck Supper and the Hilarious Film “Ratatouille”
Sunday February 12 in Hudson
Hudson area neighbors can enjoy an evening of delicious fun at “Other People’s Food,” a family-friendly pot-luck dinner and screening of the animated feature “Ratatouille” on Sunday, February 12, beginning at 4 p.m. Funds raised will help Acres Co-op Market open its doors, while the evening builds community with the sharing of food. “Other People’s Food” takes place at Stair Galleries, 549 Warren Street, Hudson, N.Y.. The space is fully handicapped-accessible. Parking is free on-street and in nearby municipal lots. The movie begins promptly at 4:15 p.m., and the potluck buffet begins at 5:45.
In Disney Studios’ 2007 feature-length cartoon comedy “Ratatouille,” a French rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite the rodent-phobic nature of the profession. At “Other People’s Food,” everybody gets to be a culinary star. Please bring a dish, and contact Mona Coade-Wingate who is coordinating, in advance. Reach her at 774-722-0664 or Mona@acrescoop.com.
The suggested donation is $10 per adult, with children under 12 free. But everyone is welcome, so attendees are simply asked to pay what they can, or bring a dish for the potluck if they wish. There will be a donation-basis wine bar, and participants may also BYOB. A raffle will be held for a co-op membership, normally $150, with tickets at $1.

Any recommends for Sunday brunch in Hudson?
Posted by hungryinhudsonny on February 18, 2012 at 6:32 pm
I wish I could help – I’m always too lazy on a Sunday to leave the house! The frenchy places, Le Gamin and Cafe Le Perche, are perfect for brunching, but you would have luck from Park Falafel to Red Dot to Swoon (for lunch). So many yummy choices!

We ate here and it was really lovely. Great food and a wonderful atmosphere.

Thanks for mentioning Spotty Dog and featuring beer & growlers! And I must say, I’m pretty much always hungry, too!
Any chance of some love in your blog for Eat For Books? This is a fundraiser for the Hudson Area Library taking place Thursday, July 26th. Eat/drink at your favorite Hudson establishments (14 of ’em this year!) and a portion of what you spend goes right to the library to support their programs and collections.
A list of participating eateries can be found at the library’s website: hudsonarealibrary.org or by contacting me. Thanks for your consideration!

I LOVE this blog. In the past three days – brunch at Le Perche, lunch at Radio, coffee at Rev. Looking forward to the rest of the week, eating my way through Hudson.

You are a wonderful discovery.
Just met Chuck the Woodchuck in the last few weeks. He’s a handsome fellow.
Let’s acknowledge Billy at the Italian Market. Aside from his entertainment value, he’s a great cook and source of Italian deli meats.
I bake cupcakes, but don’t want to be bothered with a “legal” kitchen. I know there are some other sources, but can we make room for one more?
