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

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

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've never been there, but from what I've heard, Chuck gave the right answer.

The food at the upstairs dining room at Longchamp is pretty good.....as is the food at the restaurant at Saint Cloud.

I had about 8 lobsters at Sha Tin. Obviously the Chinese food there was great even if they dont have the little corn things.

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.
