Chefs Across the Border

When it comes to food, Columbia County--Hudson in particular--has arrived, and an event coming up in April is validation of its ascendance. Berkshire Farm & Table presents ChefX, an event that brings together chefs who value local ingredients and support local farmers and food artisans--in the Berkshire and the Hudson Valley--and fans of local food.

The event is actually two events. On Sunday, April 7, five chefs from the Berkshires come to Hudson to prepare a special five-course tasting--five chefs, five courses--at the Crimson Sparrow. The visiting chefs come Nudel Restaurant in Lenox, the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, and the Meat Market, Bell & Anchor, and Rubiner's Cheesemongers in Great Barrington. 

Then on Monday, April 29, the great chefs of Hudson (and Philmont) travel to the Berkshires to present a five-course tasting at Allium in Great Barrington. Our traveling culinary team will be made up of the chefs from the Crimson Sparrow, Helsinki Hudson, Grazin' Diner, Swoon Kitchenbar, and Local 111. 

Each dinner will culminate in a Chefs' Cocktail Hour, to give diners the opportunity to meet the chefs in a casual setting and chat about their work, their philosophy of food, and their restaurants. For information and tickets, visit BerkshireFarmandTable.com.
