[quote name='Chika']I was really disappointed in the Hudson Valley edition because they really didn't show anything that's part of the true Hudson Valley culture, other than the Mohonk Mountain House. The Pine Island Polish community isn't even IN the Hudson Valley, it's in the Delaware Water Gap bordering on Pennsylvania/New Jersey and a solid hour drive from anything that's considered Hudson Valley. X20 where they went with Bill Murray is only about a 5 minute walk north of NYC and though it's technically in the Hudson Valley, you might as well consider it the city. We're known for our dairy farms (cow, sheep and goat), apple orchards, and wineries/breweries. They went to some chef's house for some SouthEast Asian food but we don't even have a SEA population in this area. Yes, we have the CIA but that's just the smallest part of this area.[/QUOTE]
Very interesting. I wonder why they did that. I guess that's just the "good for TV" stuff.
Anthony Bourdain is still awesome in my eyes so hopefully it wasn't completely offensive for the Hudson Valley Area. It would be annoying for an area known to you to be somewhat misrepresented. I doubt he will ever think of coming to Kentucky though so I will never know.
