burgoo

Navigating only 8,600 seats and a slower pace, you can take your time moving from betting window to bourbon bar to burgoo stand.

Some of the offerings include burgoo, the hot brown, soup beans, fried potatoes, collard greens, beer cheese, spoonbread and bourbon cake.

Along the midway the Anti-Horse-Thief Society had a stand selling burgoo and roasting ears.

Each raceday features $5 food and drink specials identified with that particular event: For the Derby, it's mint juleps and a choice of hot browns, burgoo stew and Derby pie.

The series kicks off on May 2 with hot browns, burgoo stew and Derby pie, paired with Bulleit mint juleps.
