Brandon Fay’s restaurant Pasta by Hudson was inspired by his daughter Hudson’s love for pasta, and he wanted to expand the business by creating a faster and fresher experience.
It’s why he appeared on Season 11, Episode 17 of “Shark Tank,” and after wowing the sharks with his pasta dishes, he managed to strike a deal with Lori Greiner and Mark Cuban.
However, in a December 2020 Facebook post, Pasta by Hudson revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had shut down the restaurant's location at Turnstyle Underground Market.
Lori Greiner still supported the business during this difficult period, and the restaurant persevered and was able to open a brick-and-mortar location in Chelsea.
