Kentucky: Hot Brown Sandwich
- The Hot Brown Sandwich was created in 1926 by Fred Schmidt, chef at the Brown Hotel in Louisville.
- This open-faced turkey sandwich is topped with creamy Mornay sauce, bacon, and tomatoes, then broiled to perfection.
- The dish was designed as a late-night indulgence for hotel guests after dancing. It has since become a Kentucky classic, celebrated for its rich, decadent flavors and its association with Southern hospitality and Derby traditions.
