The chef, Mark Strausman (of Campagna fame), is to cooking what Bob Dylan is to music. His dishes are textured, multi-layered, and always remembered. My wife and I have experienced his “Country Breakfast” on Sunday mornings, as well as his dinners, numerous other times. His spicy “chicken under a brick” was the best chicken I have ever had! The salads with freshly picked local vegetables explode with flavor in your mouth. And the hearty portion of Rachel’s (who works in the kitchen) Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is a fantastic way to end the meal. Agriturismo has become our favorite special event/non special event restaurant in Dutchess County. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

Who’d have expected Mark Strausman to end up in Pine Plains? A chef who was famous in New York in the pre-Food Network days, he was drawn to Pine Plains because it is surrounded by working farms where her purchases his meats, vegetables, eggs, milk and cheese. His fish comes from Montauk, where he spent much time when he ran one of the hottest restaurants in the Hamptons in the early 1990s. Now he’s brought his gutsy, hearty cooking style to the Hudson Valley. For now Agritrurismo is only open on Friday and Saturday nights and all-day Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m, serving pretty much anything you might desire. The hearty breakfast menu includes a farm pizza topped with a fried egg ($14), Suckling Pig Hash ($14) walnut raisin French toast ($14; all prices include coffee or tea); the all-day menu ranges from penne with a cherry tomato sauce ($15) to a roasted loin of lamb ($26). —Dan Shaw
