In this delicious episode, host Mackenzie sits down with local culinary power duo Clark Gale and Zac Denham, the minds behind Bocage Champagne Bar, to talk about their newest venture: Standard Fare, opening August 15th in the heart of downtown Saratoga Springs.
From elevated comfort food (hello, meatloaf and apple chutney pork chops!) to a playful art gallery wall featuring horses, ducks—and a single goose—you’ll get the inside scoop on what makes Standard Fare a can’t-miss dinner destination for visitors and locals alike. Clark and Zac talk about their creative process, their passion for bringing people together through food, and what’s coming next (spoiler: brunch is on the way!).
Whether you're in town for the Saratoga Race Course, spending the weekend on Broadway, or just here for the champagne and crepes, Standard Fare is your new go-to for unique dishes, warm vibes, and unexpected art.
