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

To be honest it's very hard if you're someone who is used to going to good restaurants in NYC and you end up in smaller cities in the midwest. It isn't even necessarily the chef's fault as they simply can't get the kind of product a restaurant in a city like NY can.

the problem I see is that every meal in KY MUST be prepared in bacon grease or with bits of bacon or topped with bacon or over bacon or wrapped in bacon--see a pattern? and i'm not talking about pancetta or proscuitto.

Well Steve,
There have been plenty of good suggestions on this thread.
I'll just put in my two pennies worth...

Being as Saratoga is near the Adirondacks...I think "mountain oysters" should be on the menu. Serve 'em on a kieser roll with a "high life", slaw on the side.
Saratoga memories will be made.

Q: "Hey, how did you do at Saratoga?"
A: "You've gotta have oysters if ya think you'll win there."
