that makes all the good people in "fly over land" just laugh their a** of at those it feel superior about paying $450,000 to live in a 1,500 sq ft house on a postcard lot, and pay $7 for a beer.

Lexington is a very cosmopolitan city for its size, and there are plenty of good options for a nice meal......

I/L

Have a great time at Keeneland.... just a wonderful experience which is enhanced by it's proximity to the University of Kentucky sororities

Speaking with the authority of someone who's lived in both places

while i'm sure the hd is nice, the new graphics packages i'm not a big fan of. I think NYRA's graphics improved and OSA and Keenelands took a step back

now, i could be wrong...but i thought btw was only talking about the food at the track itself. but if you want to take it as lexington-bashing, feel free i guess.

have fun brian, wish i could say i was going there as well!

I love Lexington. I've spent months there.

The food is awful. Sorry. It's not my fault.

Are you talking about the track or the area?

We were in the Bluegrass Room this weekend and the food was probably a 'B', decent corn beef

For track food, Keeneland is OK. Inedible.....but OK.

The food in the area is to die for......in that it will kill you.

I didn't have the time to check that out, will experience it next time.

Curious, what track has the best food?

I didn't mind the food at all. I mostly had the Bread pudding with Makers Mark..

but I'm comparing Keeneland to Fairmont where you are probably eatting the last place horse from last week.
