Philadelphia Park back in the day had a Provolone Porky stand. Those were the days my friend.

The Jamaican food stand at Aqueduct was fantastic and my favorite track food. Got some curried goat with the peas and rice. Price was good too. And of course there was that guy that ran those really good BBQ stands at Saratoga. What was that sandwich in the last year that you had that Steve? Pot roast I think? That was damn tasty.

The loss of the Jamaican Food stand is a shame at both Aqueduct and Belmont. The bigger loss at Belmont was over a decade ago when the French Food stand left. That place was awesome.

No more Nathan’s fries at Saratoga. That stinks. No hand melons or tomatoes at the gate when you’re leaving either. The Suffolk Downs Chili is also in the wind. People brought it home for the best chili dogs ever .

Speaking of food at the track......

One thing for sure is, a hot dog always tastes better after you win a race. Funny how that works.

One year on Traver’s Eve, I made Steve a real Philadelphia Cheesesteak with ribeye from a South Philly Italian butcher on a Sarcone’s roll with sauted white onion and fresh picked Kennett Square mushrooms. I think Steve started selling the Pot Roast sandwich after that!!

The Carolina Barbecue Pork was always the engine on the train, but we did have Pot Roast in Gravy (formerly Beef Brisket) the last 2 years which was a huge hit. The other non-BBQ items that were successfully introduced were the Chicago Italian Beef and Bobby Frankel's favorite, Montreal Smoked Meet (which gave rise to the Brisket/Pot Roast).

Every trip to Santa Anita involves an egg salad sandwich from the snack bar outside Sirona's. Cold diet Pepsi and chips.
