The Hot Brown is a culinary staple in our state, having been created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville back in the '20s for guests weary after a long night of dancing and drinking. This open-faced sandwich consists of all manner of yummy: bread, cheese, ham, turkey, bacon, tomatoes. Oh, and did I say bacon? Definitely bacon. Don't forget the bacon! If you haven't traveled to Louisville to try the legendary dish at the Brown Hotel, you are missing out, but don't worry, we have you covered if you are craving one and don't have a lot of time or experience in the kitchen (like my friend Leigh).
