Hudson Valley Restaurant Week 2011: Meet Guest Blogger Todd Matthews

Here’s a look at some of the guest bloggers who will be covering Hudson Valley Restaurant Week for Small Bites. HVRW goes from March 14, through March 27, where participating restaurants offer three-course lunches for $20 and three-course dinners for $28. For a look at the full list of participants, visit hudsonvalleyrestaurantweek.com

I am so happy to be participating in Hudson Valley Restaurant Week for a second year. As someone who consults and writes about food, recipe development and restaurant experiences, it is exciting to see people afforded opportunities outside of their weekly “norms.” This wonderful event showcases restaurants that may have been off-radar for some, and at an affordable price.

These days, with so many Hudson Valley restaurants now showcasing locally raised/grown food, it is a win-win for both restaurateur and farmer/grower – – and to share it with friends, a win for us.

As a favorite writer, MFK Fisher, stated, “Then with good friends of such attributes, and good food on the board, and good wine in the pitcher, we may well ask, when shall we live, if not now?”

See you at the table!

Love the quote Todd.
I may be borrowing that one! My grandfather always said “you never get older while sitting at the super table.”
