Description

Chef Jeffrey Harrison Blank has owned Hudson’s on the Bend Restaurant in Austin, Texas since 1984. Before that, he owned and operated The Wineskin Restaurant in Aspen, Colorado. He received the Conde Naste Traveler Magazine Distinguished Restaurant Award, and was Celebrity Chef for the 1993 Texas Food and Wine festival. In April 2002 the Texas Wine and Food Festival named him Who’s Who in Texas Wine and Food. He has been featured in The New York Times, M Magazine, Gourmet, Texas Monthly, Cooking Light, Spirit, Bon Appetite, Chef’s Magazine, Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens and the Chicago Tribune.

Cooking classes are offered monthly and have proven to be the creative challenge that keeps the menu fresh and exciting. Blank has just completed a new cooking school venue an eighth of a mile from Hudson’s featuring an outdoor kitchen with a beautiful Lake Travis view…or indoor kitchen featuring an open hearth fireplace/grill, German style smoker, and antique café stove.

Cooking Class Gift Certificates are available for purchase. We will mail a gift certificate to the recipient and they can schedule the class at their convenience. The class includes recipes, instruction and a four course meal with wine. Classes cost $135 per person.
