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.

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.

The Manhattan Clam Chowder was a must every visit to Calder.

Pretty sure Charlotte Weber fell in love with the Pot Roast sandwich. I enjoyed the pulled pork with hot sauce.

The red chowder at Saratoga followed by a Carolina pork with hot sauce was the only double I ever hit there!

Been there, done that. Amazing that on a 94 degree day in August to start with red chowder and follow with more hot goodness is the plan, but it is.

The gumbo at fair grounds is really good too. I like the way the soups of the day is included with the program changes on the tv screens
