The Friday buffet is just $29.95 and features harvest minestrone soup, hand-carved turkey breast, veal Bolognese with ravioli and “Taste of Asia” station with egg rolls, wantons, dumplings and fried rice.
The Saturday buffet is packed with flavor starting with the turkey and pumpkin chili complete with cornbread and all the fixings.  Middle-Eastern spiced pork loin with lemon and mint yogurt sauce, blackened salmon with pineapple, brussels sprouts with Vermont maple syrup and chimichurri flank steak round out this $39.95 menu.  

“Our executive chef Dennis Sammarone has done a terrific job,” said Jason Settlemoir, COO and GM of Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment.  “We asked him to bring some new flavors to our Pink buffet and he has delivered.”
