LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Churchill Downs is partnering with chef and New York Times bestselling author Joshua Weissman to help fans enjoy an at-home race day celebration for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 3. 

Drawing on his Southern roots, Weissman curated an exciting race day menu of dishes, blending regional comfort food with bold flavors.

“The tradition of the Kentucky Derby is unlike anything else, extending far beyond the racetrack, and I’m thrilled to help bring the spirit of the Derby to those watching from home this year,” Weissman said. “Preparing a spread for an event as legendary as the Derby can feel intimidating, but my goal with this menu was to craft a collection of approachable dishes that are both easy to make and also put a fresh take on classic race day favorites.”

Churchill Downs said Weissman leveraged his culinary expertise and social media saviness to put together a spread of easy-to-enjoy snacks and bite-sized Derby-inspired dishes. 

“Joshua’s love for food, creativity in the kitchen and passion for entertaining his online audience make him the ideal partner to curate this year’s ‘Kentucky Derby At-Home’ menu,” said Casey Ramage, Churchill Downs vice president of marketing and partnerships. "The menu Joshua put together embodies the energy of the Kentucky Derby with adventurous takes on traditional offerings that will make any at-home celebration just as thrilling as the race itself.”

Here's this year's "Kentucky Derby At-Home" menu:

• Pretzel sticks with mustard mayo sauce
• Honey butter chicken biscuit
• Cobb salad
• Perfectly baked mac and cheese
