THE ORIGINAL HOT BROWN | Brown Hotel | Louisville, Kentucky | Plus Kentucky Down Under Footage

In today's episode, we're visiting J. Graham's Cafe, in the Brown Hotel, to try one of Kentucky's most famous dishes, The Hot Brown. The Hot Brown is a hot, open-faced sandwich that was created in 1926 by Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The sandwich is made with Texas toast, thick-sliced turkey, Mornay sauce, bacon, and tomatoes, and is baked until bubbling hot.
The story goes that the Brown Hotel hosted lavish dinner dances in the 1920s, and guests would work up an appetite dancing and merrymaking. One night, head chef Fred Schmidt created a new dish with items he had on hand in the hotel kitchen, instead of the usual ham and eggs. Legend has it that the maitre d' pointed out that the thick slices of white bread, turkey, and Mornay sauce were all basically the same color, so the chef added two slices of bacon and pimentos on top for a splash of color.
The Hot Brown is a variation of traditional Welsh rarebit and was one of two signature sandwiches created by chefs at the Brown Hotel shortly after its founding in 1923.

    Love Henry's Ric Flair "Woo". Such a beautiful hotel. The Hot Brown was steaming! The Kentucky Pie looked delicious. Gentry seemed to enjoy all the birds a bit more than Jennifer. Great video guys!

    Haha, we enjoyed Henry's Rick Flari "woo" too. He was excited for that brunch buffet lol. If you guys are ever in Louisville, you should definitely check this place out. You are correct to say that Gentry enjoyed the birds more than Jennifer and it made for some great footage lol. We hope that you guys are having an awesome week.

    I think this is the first time we have seen Brent without a hat lol. The fresh flowers are always a nice touch. I've been to Denmark twice in the past 8 months and they are all about open faced sandwiches over there lol, sounds like Brent would fit right in over there! I'm gonna admit I've never had a hot brown. Y'all have sold us now. Brents sandwich looked so good.

    It is a very rare occurence for me to go without a hat when we're filming lol. We didn't know if there was a dress code here, so we played it safe on this day, but rest assured - the hat was safely returned to my gigantic noggin once we got back to the truck. That's really cool that they're all about open faced sandiches in Denmark. What was your favorite open faced sandwich that you tried in Denmark? You guys should definitely try a hot brown the next time you're in Kentucky. We hope that you guys are having a great week and thanks for watching.

    Very nice experience - When these classic hotels continue a high level service, they should be patronized. I’m glad you did and enjoyed the dining. The down-under visit looked like fun until the birds piled on. Reminded me of the movie. Explain that to the boys.

    I have never had Hot Brown. I have looked for it but no one in my area makes it. You would think that in the mts. of Southwest Virginia that this would be a staple. I have a trip to Louisville to visit some friends in the area. I will make it a point to go here and get the Hot Brown. My first taste should be the best they make, and if Brett says it's the best..I know it will be. What an amazing atmosphere! It is absolutely beautiful. Kentucky Down Under looked fun! I would freak out if those birds got on me tho. I am not a fan of chickens, so it stands to reason that I don't care much for birds either. Hope ya'll had a great weekend. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. God bless!

    KDU was definitely a blast. It has been about 6 or 7 years since we've been and they've added several new exhibits. We wanted to explore the cave there. It's been a few years since we've been down in the cave, but they closed early on the day that we went. LOL - She really did look like she was in the movie, Birds. That's hilarious.

    lol - Stephanie should definitely skip the bird aviary then if y'all go to KDU. About a dozen birds come swarming down as soon as you walk through the door, landing on you, and looking for food. I know for sure Jennifer will not be going back in the next time we visit.
