What People Are Saying

  • "Exceptional Food and Service Every Time! Hudson Valley Food Dude never ceases to amaze! Matt and his talented team consistently deliver outstanding customer service and delectable food that leaves everyone wanting more. We've had the pleasure of using their catering services for a couple of events year after year, and they always exceed our expectations. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, making our events memorable and enjoyable for all our guests. In fact, many of our guests eagerly anticipate Hudson Valley Food Dude's return each year and often ask if they'll be catering the next event. That speaks volumes about the quality and care Matt and his team put into their work. We can't wait for our next opportunity to enjoy their incredible culinary creations and highly recommend them for your event too."

  • "Hudson Valley Food Dude catered our wedding...We thought he and his team did a perfect job! At least one of our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. As is typically the case at weddings, the happy couple was only able to enjoy the food so much, as they were constantly doing things. But the groom had a smoked chicken leg that he described as euphoric, and still dreams of the way the meat fell off the bone. The dude knows how to make some super light and fluffy potatoes too. In addition to all of this, HVFD is professional and enjoyable to interact with, which made the stressful experience of planning a wedding just that much easier. This couple happily recommends you hire the food dude to cater your wedding!"

  • "We hired HV Food Dude to cater our wedding and we are SO GLAD we did. Saying the food was phenomenal would be an understatement. Our wedding was just about a month ago and our guests still have not stopped raving about the food. The catering options are generous - we had chicken taquitos, pigs in a blanket, soup shooters, and various items from their smoker and taco options. Matt even catered to my custom requests, like oysters! A HUGE thank you to Matt and his entire team for making our wedding catering dreams come true!"

  • “I could not ask for a better experience with Hudson Valley Food Dude. From moving his own schedule around to meet my needs to answering my many emails in such a timely manner and sticking to a budget are only some reasons why Matt would be perfect for your event/party. That’s not even mentioning the best part, the food is AMAZING! The only thing you will regret is NOT booking Hudson Valley Food Dude! Thank you Matt for everything!”

  • “We loved working with Chef Matty and his team. We had lots of changes leading up to our event due to Covid restrictions and Matty was gracious in his flexibility. The food was AMAZING and his gorgeous team kept such a good flow going from the truck that there was just enough wait time for people to chat and mingle by the truck and not enough wait time for anyone to get hungry - perfectly executed!”

  • “I had never had Matt’s food before but reserved his truck for a 60th bday celebration after reading rave reviews. His professionalism and food are fantastic! My guests loved the menu. His food is clean, complex in flavor, and fresh. We loved it and can’t wait to hire him again!”
