They need to serve something with Rohypnol in it. Call it a "Big Blue Koolade" Would have been nice for the UL game.
Football fans need a better menu of food at CWS, what do you think?

I am sorry but if Mutton was the only thing BBQ'd I would starve to death. I have tried it twice at that famous place in Owensboro and I can definitely say I hate it.
If you are talking about Moonlite, I can see why you feel the way that you do. Good buffet, but the BBQ is not so great, IMHO. If you want good BBQ mutton, I'd recommend going somewhere else.
It was Moonlight but it was about 40 years ago. It was not a buffet then, a lot of people swear by mutton but I am not one of them. Now let me smoke you some butt, chicken or ribs and you will leave that crap alone.
FWIW, I really like BBQ mutton, but I never have liked Moonlite's BBQ mutton.
I agree with all these posts. Hopefully, the food options will improve this coming season. It seems to me there is a food contract for concessions. Not sure, however. One problem this past season were the young people from local schools who were overwhelmed trying to deliver concessions to long, long lines. I hope concessions this season improve and service (with no criticism toward workers) will be better for all fans.
I tailgate for nearly every game now so I don't go in hungry. I grill burgers, dogs, baked potatoes, corn on the cob and chips with homemade salsa. Not to mention my margaritas.
There is a good reason tons of mutton has been cooked every year in Daviess County for 150 years. I personally prefer the pork but a couple of times a year I do have an urge for mutton. Most people that bar-b-q put so much sugar on it you might as well be eating congealed soda pop. Moonlight may not be the best you can find in Daviess County but if you know what you're doing it's still pretty good. A person needs to go to a few of those church picnics to get the real flavor of Daviess County bar-b-q. Those old farm boys were cooking for huge crowds before any of us even heard the word "festival" being thrown around.
Some folk talking about it remind me of what I saw in the liquor store last week---Texas Cowboy Bourbon.

Screw a bunch of food. I never eat during the game. Not even at home. It distracts me from the action. I'll eat before I go. I can watch the game better and save money.
Old Hickory Bar-B-Q is the best I have had and I eat a lot of bar-b-q. I am also not a huge fan of mutton.
I will tell you who has good food is Keeneland. If UK can't come up with something on their own, they could contract with whoever does the Keeneland concessions. The more I think about it, they probably bid the contract out and go with whoever gives them the best deal. The problem with that is for these concession companies to come in with a good bid, they have to cut every corner possible. That formula pretty much guarantees a crappy product.
Yeah Old Hickory is good but no restaurant is as good as those church picnics. Still if you go at the right time and know somebody at Moonlight who will help it is good. I lived in Owensboro for the better part of my life and can honestly say those picnics are the best I have ever had and I have had a lot myself. The picnics is the only place you can get the meat cooked the way it should be cooked.
Don't necessarily gotta be Applebee's , their grub used to be ok but they change it and it tends to suCk more than it did a few years ago.......but it would still be light years better than the dog $#!+ they currently serve.
Tell local taco to come over and do a section , or like some one said before tally hoe, bring in the smokers, anything is a step up from the current dog ****.

Anybody remember when they would hype up the "Fat Cat" on the big screen during timeouts last year?
Did anyone here take part in tearing up a Fat Cat at commonwealth? If so, how was it and did you happen to share?

Only got to 1 game this year (UofL) and got there minutes before KO so I didn't get to see the "new Commonwealth". Bathrooms and concessions in visitors area were unchanged. Really a shame about concessions; it is really one of the worst venues for concessions that I have ever visited. Thought I read somewhere that Drake Jackson's dad was the vendor manager (Centerplate ?) at both CWS and PJCS/YUM!

Suffice to say, the university (who reads these posts) should be paying attention to better service and hopefully a better food and drink experience this coming season.
Stadium food......yum-yum......I'll only eat it in an emergency...no telling what the helpers do to it when half the time they are high school kids raising funds......best advice......Stay Away .....
That is actually a very good point. I surely hope they have somebody who monitors message boards and call in shows. Companies spend millions of dollars incentivizing patrons to fill out surveys so they can determine what it is they are doing right and wrong that drives folks to enter their doors. UK is in a somewhat unique situation in that they have patrons begging them to accommodate them and forums galore with as much feedback as they want to process.
Last year I replied to a post on rafters that one thing wrong with Rupp is that they didn't serve soft serve ice cream upstairs . This year they do and have large lines for it. Might be a coincidence but my guess is they do watch the boards for customer feedback .
You may have clicked on the wrong thread because we are talking about food on this one.
Reading comprehension not working today? By the way just how much do you weigh?
Faithful Blue, Thanks for the "correction". What I meant to say was that I thought Centerplate managed both places and Jackson's dad was connected to Centerplate in some fashion. Anyway, it was just a comment that really means nothing. I agree, YUM! and Slugger Field have much better concessions than either football venue. In fact, I look forward to stadium food on my trips to Slugger Field! 
JMO, but I still think CWS comes in a distant fourth among those 4 venues.
Peace

That makes sense if you change the question mark to a period. Don't sweat it, we all have those days where we get a little lost. Oh, and I weigh 230. That's about 20 lbs. more than my doctor says I should weigh but really I'm in pretty good shape for my age compared to most people in this country.
