Default Belmont Park Egg Salad

I remember years ago at Belmont Park and when I drove 3 1/2 hours to get there, the first thing I wanted was an Egg Salad Sandwich from the ladies up on the 2nd floor. They were so good. Think Harry Stevens was the concession. Those sandwiches were so good.

They were so good. On a Kaiser Roll, wrapped in Saran Wrap. but so good. Always made that morning. Think they were $2.

Back then you'd see cars on fire on the Belt Parkway. It was worriesome. I'd get to the track and have a beer, a shot and an Egg Salad Sandwich. Then I'd be in the wonderful world that is Belmont Park.

People don't appreciate how nice that place is. It's a grand place. If you haven't been there, go there.

Don't have the Egg Salad Sanwiches anymore, but still a great accomplishment in US racing. A 1 1/2 mile track.

Before they change it, go there. Go to Aqueduct too. I used to go to Hollywood Park a lot. I have great memories of that place. Aqueduct is a very nice place. I used to go there for the Derby preps and Wood every year. It is a brilliantly designed racetrack.

The famous racetrack Corned Beef's and Clam Chowders all had their origin with Harry M. Stevens concessionaire catering.

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

Flaterrer,

That is the way we roll here. I usually go for Liscio's because I can't get Sarcone's out here in West Chester. That I know of.

Delco Steaks in Glen Mills is pretty good. Actually may make a road trip tomorrow. Got my interest up.
