Good luck Steve.

btw, I associate crab cakes with Pimlico...certain tracks with a food, if you know what I mean. Is there going to be something on the menu that once it's there, everyone says "Saratoga"? Just a thought.

good point--burgoo w/Keeneland, Julips @ CD why does Saratoga not have a food or drink of it's own?

Given a choice of having your town associated with Burgoo or nothing I would have to think nothing wins in a landslide.

my point is not WHAT the item is only that it is an old and historic track and has no signature food or drink item associated with it. I find that somewhat odd...I never said I ate that horrendous stew that is served at KEE.

See my above post ... the signature food at the Spa is the Saratoga Chip ...

... which you can wash down with the signature beverage ... Saratoga Spring Water.

I would like to say I could say the same thing.

You try spending a month in Lexington. Burger King is nouveau cuisine in that town.

While we're on the region's specialities... Don't foget Pie ala Mode!!

First served at the Cambridge Hotel (Cambridge, Washington County) around 1930 and exported to Delmonico's in NYC by Professor Charles Townsend who had "created" it by asking for it at the Hotel years earlier...

The Saratoga Chip, progenitor of American Potato Chips, are generally attributed to George Crum, or his sister, at the Moon Lake Lodge in 1853.

Other dishes associated with origins in the Albany-Saratoga corridor are Cole Slaw, which was made at a bording house in Albany by a Dutch woman in 1750, and Salisbury Steak, created by an RPI nutritionist in the late 1800's...

They do not have GREAT places to eat. They do have some fair ones.

I think that's fair, Furlongs was good, not great, I heard they closed, the owner was a nice guy always at Keeneland, maybe that's why they closed. Went to the Petit Rose, was supposed to be a nice place, the Steak Diane was terrible, it was tough. There's a Japanese place, Nagasaki, not very well kept, but decent food.
