I'll respectfully disagree with Pramrod as I live in the Hudson Valley, and there are plenty of great places, as well as off-beat places, to eat. I just hope Bourdain covered the whole length, from Albany down to Westchester, and not just the places frequented by people up from city, like Woodstock, Blue Hill, or Bedford. Hopefully, he tried the beer selection at The Country Inn of Krumville, ate authentic tacos at Mole Mole in Poughkeepsie, and checked out local my favorite local coffee roaster, J.B. Peel in Red Hook.

I have a KitchenAid and while it is fine, the plastic cylinder section in the middle of the bowl, which the blade attachment fits on, is so short that if you have even a minimal amount of liquid in there, it leaks out. The Cuisinart does not have this problem.

Ah man, just when I had convinced myself to stay away from the new Five Guys in Poughkeepsie you have to remind that it is, in fact, a good burger.

Orlando's in Taos serves terrific Northern New Mexico cuisine, including fabulous blue corn enchiladas. They have luscious margaritas. Plus you can enjoy your meal outdoors on their lovely patio.
