These Central New York restaurants were highlighted thanks to Rachael Ray's under $40-a-Day TV show and Farm To Table on the Food Network.

Rachael Ray, who's originally from Glenns Falls, brought her under $40-a-Day show to Cooperstown and Central New York area. The idea of the show is to travel around in search of great food while only spending $40 a day.
