by Bill Dowd, Upstate NY Restaurant Examiner


HUDSON, NY -- The "Guest Chefs for Charity" fundraising dinner for Stageworks/Hudson will feature an unfamiliar face cooking a three-course meal.

It's board president Barry Herbold who will fire up the stove at the charity event scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, at Pi Cafe, 16 Hudson Street.

In his daytime guise, Herbold is president of Empire State Appraisal Consultants. For this special event, his menu includes cream of portobello soup, salad, and a choice of chicken scallopine a la Barry, ebony grilled ahi tuna, grilled New York strip steak or penne with tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella.

Accompanying wines will come from the local Hudson-Chatham Winery. Theater solo artist Marcella Goheen will perform an excerpt from her play, "The Maria Project."

A portion of all proceeds will go to Stageworks/Hudson. Reservations for the limited seating event are required: (518) 758-9355. Tickets are $35 per person.

Notes On Napkins: Stageworks is located at 41-A Cross Street in Hudson. It won "Best Theater Company" from Metroland magazine in 2007, and last year received the Proctors Regional Arts Award. Laura Margolis is the executive artistic director. ... The Hudson-Chatham Winery's tasting room, closed for the winter, is scheduled to re-open in April. It is located at 1900 Route 66 in Ghent.
