Default Saratoga vendor changes for 2011

Pop Corn Vendor: Gone
Lemonade Vendor: Gone
BBQ stands.. were 6 now 2

No Nyra store in clubhouse, and they are all outsourced now to Centerplate from Kentucky..lot of locals out of summer work as a result you would think...sister has managed several stores for years and is out.

So it begins...

So a Kentucky vendor is going to hire Kentuckians and ship them across the country for one month of employment?

As usual, Scat Daddy has things about 90% wrong on this pet topic of his.

Of course.

The original post in this thread ignores the truth. How could anyone argue the food options have not improved every year in Saratoga recently? Why would we take a step backwards this year?

Lori.. Why would you take this oaf's word on anything?

I'm sick of this moron's annual stupidity. Nothing was outsourced. O'Brien's (Lemonade/Pretzel) and Howard's (Popcorn/Novelties) type items are going to be merchandised by Centerplate, NYRA's long-time contract feeding operator that replaced Aramark more than 10 years ago. With the addtion of contractor's like Danny Meyer, Centerplate has needed to find alternate revenue to justify their ongoing investments in all 3 facilities -- Saratoga, Aqueduct, Belmont. The concessionaire type business that Jack and Howard operated can help Centerplate generate revenue. The jobs involved with those kinds of stands will be manned by the same kinds of summer employees that have always manned them.

As for Carolina installations, the Backyard area is gone and the Paddock has been re-configured with nothing in the center area anymore. As a result, the Paddock Sausage cart is moving to the end of the Arcade Walk past the jock's room, and there is a 2nd Clubhouse cart added as well. Everything else is the same at Carousel, the Grandstand and Pavillion.

Centerplate is actually based in Stamford, CT.

I didnt take his word for it, that's why I put "if true". I also dont know this particular posters background. sucks that the backyard stand is gone, but an added clubhouse cart will help off-set the backyard stand.

I certainly didnt understand his "lost summer jobs" part.

I believe that when the casino opens at Aqueduct, Centerplate will not be a part of the foodservice component.
