Default New Barbecue at Saratoga

NYRA has formed a multi year partnership that will bring ther Shake Shack and Blue Smoke barbecue to the grounds of Saratoga. Guessing they feel that having two Carolina barbecue stands is just not enough to feed the masses?

Should be interesting to see more sitting space taken up by this vendor ... but then again competition is always a healthy thing for the consumer... I'll have a $5 exacta box 2/7 and a Strawberry shake puhleeezzz....just sounds awful....

Like the 'Restaurant Row' installed three years ago, Danny Meyer's (Union Square) upscale concept(s) should be a very nice addition to the Race Course foodservice lineup. It's yet another choice for patrons, and takes the place of the pricey Paddock Tent buffet whose menu was not that different from the other dining rooms. (Not sure where it stands, but there was also supposed to be a deal made for last summer with Smith & Wollensky, or another big name city MUFSO operator, to make one of the dining rooms into a steakhouse concept)...

As a side note, Carolina Barbecue Co. has 7 locations at Saratoga, not 2... (And those eager to get their hands on a sandwich BEFORE Saratoga can visit us at the Belmont Stakes next Saturday...

Barbecue Cafe (feat. Beef, Pork, Chick BBQ, Chicago Italian Beef, Montreal Smoked Meat): Across from the Carousel

Sausage Tent (feat. Grilled Italian Sausage & Philly Steak): Moving this year from across from silks to close to the Cafe)

Backyard (feat. Sausage and Beef/Pork BBQ): Near the Big Red Spring

Paddock (feat. Sausage/Pork BBQ): Across from Restaurant Row

1st floor Grandstand (feat. Sausage/Pork BBQ): Across from elevator

2nd floor Grandstand (feat. Sausage/Pork BBQ): Middle of Grandstand

2nd floor Clubhouse (feat. Sausage/Pork BBQ): Clubhouse near top of escalator

Their ribs are serious. Of course, ribs sauce and the DRF don't always go hand in hand. I will admit to preferring "easier" food at the track.

Or, saving the $10 and having more for the double.

Carolina BBQ is at every Triple Crown race, no? I know I've enjoyed one at the Downs before.

It's pretty impressive to find someone knocking the addition of Danny Meyer's Shake Shack to Saratoga.....arguably the most popular food concession you can find anywhere.

It's Shake Crack. The lines in Madison Square Park are seven miles long for a reason.

Restaurant Row was an awesome addition for a picky eater like me.

I've had the At The Rail Pavillion several times and it was only "ok" - the best buffet I've had is in the Turf Club at Colonial Downs during the Turf Cup.
