Picks are in, Juleps are cold & the hats are HUGE. This year’s Derby feast is about that Southern soul, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Hot Brown Mac & Cheese, Zesty Spring Salad, Mint Juleps & Pimento Cheese. It wouldn’t be the Derby without a little friendly rivalry as we'll crown a Best Dressed winner!

About the event
We’re celebrating the fastest two minutes in sports with a feast that’s just as legendary as the race itself. This year, the table is set for a true Southern spread:
The Main Event: Our signature Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken.
The Indulgence: Kentucky Hot Brown Mac & Cheese (yes, it’s as good as it sounds).
The Refresh: A zesty spring garden salad to keep things bright.
PRIZE ALERT: We want to see your best Derby style! We’re awarding a prize for the Best Dressed guest—so go big on the hats and bold on the bowties.
Grab a Mint Julep, grab a plate, and let’s race!
