The World’s Best Turkey Sandwich Can Be Found Right Here In Louisville
It is no secret that Louisville is home to some great eats. This city has been featured on tons of food shows and the locals know that there’s even more where that came from. In a city known for its delicious fried chicken, spicy burgoo stew, and meaty, cheesy, Louisville-style pizza, there is one thing that stands out above the rest: the Hot Brown from the Brown Hotel.

This ultra-classy luxury hotel hosted a dinner dance every evening that would bring in over 1,000 guests.

Obviously, the guests went crazy for this new delicacy!

Next, two halves of a Roma tomato are placed atop the turkey, and two toast points are nestled in beside the bread foundation. The whole thing is then covered with Mornay sauce (a delicate cheese sauce made with heavy cream), Pecorino-Romano cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Once it’s done, the chef takes it out and crosses two pieces of delicious, crispy bacon over the top as a finishing touch.

People come from all over the country to try this legendary take on a turkey sandwich. It has become the most famous dish in Louisville history!
