Famous for

Sandwich, Louisville

Hot Brown

Recommended by Beth Kracklauer and 6 other food critics.
"Many Louisville restaurants serve some version of it, but the gold standard is still the one served at the bar in the majestic, palm-fringed lobby of the Brown Hotel."
Beth Kracklauer

Recommendations

"Invented in 1926, the Hot Brown has been much imitated, but the original is still the best."
"Sometimes it’s best to honor a sandwich’s birthplace. Nearly identical to the version invented back in the ’20s, and always made with freshly roasted turkey breast, it’s still the finest example of the form."
"We enjoyed course after course of spectacular food ending with a “Hot Brown” which is an open-faced sandwich with turkey, bacon, and topped with Mornay (like béchamel) sauce."
"Many Louisville restaurants serve some version of it, but the gold standard is still the one served at the bar in the majestic, palm-fringed lobby of the Brown Hotel."
"Although delicious, the hot brown is certainly a rich and filling dish. If you are traveling with a friend, you can ask to split your Hot Brown."
"There’s only one place to get the original Hot Brown -- The Brown Hotel. It was invented there in 1926, and you can’t beat it."
"The Brown Hotel has been making their signature sandwich for almost a century, and the end result is always melt in your mouth delicious."
