Churchill Downs Racetrack has announced a partnership with New York Times best-selling cookbook author and content creator chef Joshua Weissman to help fans create the ultimate at-home race day celebration for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve. Drawing on his Southern roots and fun, approachable culinary style, Weissman curated an exciting race day menu of dishes that blend regional comfort food with bold flavors, perfect for celebrating Kentucky Derby At-Home.

“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.”

Leveraging his culinary expertise and social media savviness including a keen sense of online food trends and a strong connection to his millennial and Gen Z followers, Weissman thoughtfully put together a spread of easy-to-enjoy snacks and bite-sized Derby-inspired dishes. Each item features a modern or unexpected twist that will bring any Derby party to the next level and won’t interrupt the excitement of race day viewing.

“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, vice president of marketing and partnerships at Churchill Downs Racetrack. “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.”
