It's a different kind of vendor meant to cater to a different customer.. What we do is old-fashioned concessionaire food designed to feed many people rather quickly at a square price. We have a higher quality item than the typical carnival concession that is priced at a value for 'event catering'. The Value Meal I do with a 6-7oz Barbecue, Italian Beef or Smoked Meat Sandwich with choice of (2) Cole Slaw, Potato Salad or Baked Beans for $9.50 is about as great a deal as you'll find ANYWHERE in Saratoga... and not just at the track. The Restaurant Row concept serving restaurant food, and now Danny Meyer with his Blue Smoke and Shake Shack menus, atre designed to meet the need between the expensive wait-staff Dining Room fare and what we offer.

For those that interpret yesterday's announcement as more 'price gouging' at Saratoga, (as I saw from the buffoons that comment in The Saratogian), in fact the Danny Meyer concept will be priced BELOW the paddock area tent offerings it replaces. (But there's no need to let reality get in the way of a perceived opportunity to bash NYRA.)
