North Salem Cook Spices Up The Internet NORTH SALEM, N.Y. — "I never met a pepper I didn't like," says Charmaine Lord, standing in her North Salem kitchen, slicing and spicing during a filming of Dish Up!, her Jamaican food video series. Playing the real-life role of Jamaican cooking guru is a natural for Lord, who grew up on the island and went on to study theater at New York's Circle-in-the-Square.

During her stage career she was introduced to Hoagy Carmichael, Jr., who …

But perhaps even more unusual: Finding an egg on the menu that comes direct from the chef's farm. More on the egg in a minute. The 13,000 square foot Hudson Room is unusual not just for its vast space -- it occupies what years ago had been Teller's Department Store -- but for its mission, printed on the menu. According to Chef/Owner Louis Lanza, the three-month-old restaurant is all about attention to detail, dedication to the Hudson Valley, and an awareness of ci…
