Taste, The Café at Hudson Supermarket - Hudson, New York
Customers at Taste, a lunch place tucked in the back of a lifestyle store, can’t believe their good fortune. “All this for ten bucks?,” marvels a shop owner from down the block as he whisks his steaming lunch back to his store. Exactly; for a sawbuck, no one has a right to expect such finesse: An arugula salad with a peppery citrus dressing and a garnish of toasted pecans and coarsely chopped, locally-grown apples and radishes; pork marinated in an ancho chili sauce then slow cooked with banana and avocado leaves; fish for tacos that first has been sautéed with chili d’arbol and garlic, then dressed in a lime juice, lemongrass, and serrano chili vinaigrette. Owner Chris Hebert studied Mexican cookery with the redoubtable Diana Kennedy, who did for authentic Mexican food what Julia Child did for authentic French, and it shows in his work.
