From their website, ‘Cafe Mutton is a small neighborhood restaurant on a sunny corner in Hudson, New York. Our food is simple, but we pay it very close attention, and we really like meat. We also like vegetables (so much), and what we really like more than anything is the way excellent food can make a person feel calm and hopeful and glad and silly and beautiful. Coincidentally, every employee that works at Cafe Mutton was bitten by a rabid skunk at some point in their childhood, and that is why our crew is so awesome. This is not the type of phenomenon that can be intentionally replicated.’ From Bon Appetit's website, ‘Cafe Mutton is America’s most delightfully unpredictable new restaurant. The Hudson, New York restaurant is an anti-trend rebuttal to social media–driven cooking. The food at Cafe Mutton, in all its warm beige beauty, is this chef’s response to a restaurant culture that often feels more interested in jumping on buzzy trends or catching dishes in the prettiest light than imagining a more exciting way of cooking. There is no espresso machine for oat milk lattes, no egg white scramble, no bacon egg and cheese, and no avocado toast. There is, however, a sandwich stacked with fried slices of that fatty, just-made bologna. And a plate of three barely scorched crepes served in a dignified heap like a pile of fresh sheets, finished with maple syrup and a big pat of butter. You can order a traditional French omelet with the insides still oozing—but here it’s filled with Boursin and topped with Ritz crackers.’
