Martha Will Seat You Now! Inside The Bedford—the Entertaining Icon’s Newest Restaurant
**Martha Stewart Unveils The Bedford, Her Latest Restaurant Venture**
Martha Stewart recently cut the ribbon on her latest restaurant, The Bedford, located inside Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. The eatery, named after Stewart's upstate New York farmhouse, boasts a stylish and elegant atmosphere, complete with soft green walls, cornicing, and a sophisticated dining and bar experience. Despite being situated on the ground floor of a casino, the ambiance is reminiscent of Paris or a refined aunt's living room.
The Bedford marks Stewart's second restaurant, following her successful outpost in Las Vegas. Her diverse portfolio also includes best-selling cookbooks, a skincare line, and a home intelligence app called Hint. As a renowned expert in at-home hosting, Stewart has once again demonstrated her exceptional skills in creating a memorable experience for her guests.
Upon arrival, guests were treated to ice-cold lemon-laced cocktails and trays of spring salads and casino-baked oysters. Later, Stewart led a masterclass on making the perfect martini, which ultimately devolved into her signature free-pouring technique. This approach reflects Stewart's relaxed and inviting approach to hosting.
As the evening celebrations progressed, a notable crowd, including 50 Cent, Christie Brinkley, Candace Bushnell, and Sunny Hostin, arrived to enjoy a pierogi-making demonstration, seafood display, and a caviar cart. The menu featured dishes such as pasta limone, mini crab cakes, and "Big Martha's pierogies," all with a twist on Stewart's beloved recipes.
During the celebration, Stewart expressed her excitement about the similarities between The Bedford and her own farmhouse, stating, "Two of my housekeepers are coming soon—I can't wait to see how they feel." When asked by *Vogue* about her plans for a future restaurant, Stewart confidently replied, "New York," to enthusiastic cheers and applause from the crowd.
