GoHorseShow.com presents another installment of “The Best Of The Congress” and we ask the question…Where’s the best place to eat at the Congress?

I definitely would have to say the chicken fried rice at the Chinese place. I pretty much eat it every day! Oh and the cream puffs – I really like those from the German tent. That’s good stuff. You don’t want to eat it too often but they’re good.

The new VIP room. We just ate there for the first time. Very nice. You don’t ever have to go off the grounds again. It’s $100 to join and they’re limiting it to 250 and it’s worth joining.

Well they opened the new VIP place here and it’s a great place, it’s clean, nice, quiet. You can sit down and get good food without having to go off the grounds. Other than that you can just go out there to junk food alley and you get a heartburn pill and a greasy cheeseburger and go home. All for $20 bucks.

I’d have to say the broccoli and cheese bread bowls. I don’t know the name of the place but you go up like you’re going to the Celeste and it’s on the right hand side as you’re heading into Celeste.

When I was younger it used to be Dumbo Ears but they don’t have them any more. We used to eat a lot of them. Now I like the steak sandwich and I really like the Stromboli. If we leave the grounds, we go to PF Changs and Cheesecake Factory in Easton.

Gerry Leigh Pratt – Owner/Exhibitor – North Carolina
I don’t go off the grounds very often. I stay right across the street . It has gotten to the point to where you can’t go off the grounds and have a great dinner and a few drinks and drive back. The VIP thing is the deal! Just wonderful. When I do go off the grounds, we go to Hyde Park Grill.

Anywhere that’s cheap like McDonalds on the corner. It’s a lot cheaper than going up and down food alley and spending $12.00. The one by the hotel is open 24 hours. But there’s only so much McDonalds you can do, so you have to go sit down and have a real meal. We ate at Bob Evans last night.
