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...

Pack some Saratoga Spring Water instead of the chocolate milk ... it's much healthier ... and will complete the Saratoga lunch superfecta.

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.

I've eaten in Dudley's a minimum of 25 times. It's OK. The atmosphere is fun. The food is fine but not good.

I'm a snob about food. What can I say, for me it's Suckin' up to Charlotte's or nothing.

fair enough--I don 't eat meat so I often have a different opinion than almost everyone I know that does...I will tout a place and a friend will inform me that the steak is crap or the filet is overdone...it's hard to f'up vegetables. LOL

Every year the regulars wait with baited breath for the first Saratoga Hand Mellons.

I won't even go into Chicken Sadie's (RIP) lemonade and Southern Fried Chicken.

My God, have any of you people actually been there?

I do expect these annual traditons to soon be surpassed by "our Man" Steve's new delites.
