I live in Kentucky and it's almost impossible to find a properly-made Kentucky Hot Brown unless I can find the time to go all the way to Louisville. That's a shame.
I had one of these little marvels at the hotel. 27 bucks, plus the cost of a six-whiskey flight. But it was gourmet, and I was gorged and replete after that awesome lunch.
Really nothing like the original from the hotel....even around Kentucky. I travel around the state of Kentucky, for work, and have eaten The Hot Brown at many different restaurants...some pretty good and some not so much LOL!, but I have yet to try one anywhere that compares to the one served at the hotel in Louisville. I make it a point to take visitors from out of town to the hotel for a Hot Brown to experience a true taste of Kentucky. Keep up the good work and we look forward to visiting you guys soon when this pandemic lockdown is behind us :)
Just saw a picture online of the Brown Hotel's restaurant menu. No prices listed....(gulp!) 8-( B'lieve I'll hafta be tryin' a _home made_ Hot Brown, _country boy_ style! 8-)
Yes, the Brown Hotel invented the "Kentucky Hot Brown", and all, but that's not like any "Kentucky Hot Brown" I've ever had... tell ya what, chef-- you don't try to reinvent and gussy up the classic Hot Brown, and I won't tell you how to put shrimp on t he Barbie-- M'kay? M'KAY!! :)
Every place I have ever been Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and others, including all around Kentucky itself has its own version of the Hot Brown! That makes it a food group, not just a sandwich..
I'm in agreement. This version made sick to watch. Yuk! I'm from Kentucky, sitting in Kentucky, been all over Kentucky, and this ain't it. Someone call the po po?!
How in the world could you use turkey for the “World Famous Hot-Brown”, it looks to me it should be made out of “Country Fried Ham Meat”. Now b’gawd that’s Kentuckian !!!!
