Seen on the Street

Yesterday, while the epicures of Hudson were at the Basilica savoring ramp risotto, ramp gnocchi, ramp kimchee, smoked bluefish with pickled ramps, crawfish remoulade with hickory smoked ramps, beef carpaccio with ramp coulis, ramp-cured gravlax, and other culinary inventions featuring the ramp, "Rooty" (at right) and his escort were walking Warren Street to entice people out to Route 66 for root beer, burgers, and chili cheese fries.
