Churchill Downs Racetrack announced the official menu of the 148th Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve.
Each year, the official menu offers racetrack attendees traditional, yet modern, Kentucky flavors through a selection of carefully curated dishes, turning “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” into a notable culinary moment. This year’s selections range from Kentucky Bibb Salad and Pimento Cheese Creamed Spinach to Braised Short Rib with Vidalia Onion Demi-Glace.
The official menu will be served to more than 300,000 spectators across the Kentucky Oaks on Friday, May 6, and the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7.
"When creating this year's official onsite menu, I felt inspiration from the historical flavors rooted in the culture of Derby Day," said Chef Kenneth Hardiman, in a statement. "Beyond the gates of the racetrack, I hope fans across the country can take these dishes to inspire their own at-home spreads.”
Additionally, the all-new "Kentucky Derby At Your Door" sweepstakes is a nationwide catering giveaway, where fans can enter for a chance to win a catered Derby spread and entertaining essentials to throw an at-home celebration.
Combining a selection of Southern staples inspired by Kentucky Derby classics with official branded glassware and accessories, this limited-time giveaway will allow three winners to immerse in the culinary traditions of Kentucky Derby with friends and family.
