Meadowlands Racing
& Entertainment’s Pink Restaurant is getting a fall refresh when it
re-opens for live racing starting Friday, October 11th.
Every Friday and
Saturday night buffet will feature a carving station enhancing the already wide
variety of salads, pastas and main dishes, all of which are made from locally
sourced produce. In addition, the Friday buffets will be highlighted by a
specialty theme station which kicks off with the “Italian Corner” on opening
night. The Italian selections include Chef Dennis Sammarone’s homemade
meatballs, Italian sausage and braciole along with fresh garlic bread.
The remaining
October Friday themed station schedule is as follows:
- October 18th:
Asian Flare – variety of egg rolls, wontons, dumplings, pork fried rice
and fortune cookies
- October 25th:
Touch of Greek – featuring hummus, pita chips, stuffed grape leaves and
spanakopita
“Our customers
gave us some great feedback over the summer,” said Executive Chef Dennis
Sammarone. “We are going to add some new weekly features to our buffet
and will expand our featured cocktail menu.”
The Pink cocktail
menu is highlighted by the signature cocktails, a variety of mules and
margaritas and refreshing mojitos. A couple sure to be favorites include
the spicy mango margarita featuring fresh mango puree, mango vodka with a
chili-lime rim; and the aptly named Gentleman Jason S cocktail made with
muddled mint leaves and strawberry puree topped with Gentleman Jack.
Pink’s wine and beer menus also received a re-fresh for the fall opening.

“We want our
customers to know that we are listening to what they want to eat and drink when
they come out to our track,” said Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of Meadowlands

buffet will hopefully pack a punch and not only keep our loyal customers happy
