The Original Kentucky Hot Brown

This open-faced sandwich was created at The Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1926 by chef Fred Schmidt, who was looking for a unique midnight snack to serve to all the revelers dancing in the ballroom through the wee hours. The iconic dish is a must during the Kentucky Derby, and it’s a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
