Kentucky Hot Brown · Lexington
An open-faced turkey sandwich buried in Mornay sauce, broiled until bubbling and crossed with bacon and tomato. Born at Louisville's Brown Hotel, it became lunch-counter canon across Kentucky, Lexington included.
Chef Fred K. Schmidt built the first Hot Brown at Louisville's Brown Hotel in 1926 to feed late-night dancers, and the broiled turkey-and-Mornay construction spread across the Commonwealth within a generation. In Lexington it settled into the diner repertoire: Ramsey's serves a benchmark version over toast with cream gravy and bacon, and Columbia Steak House keeps one on its 1948-vintage menu.
