How to Make a Hot Brown with Joe Castro
In 1923, The Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. In the “wee” hours of the morning, the guests would grow tired of dancing and retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Guests were growing rapidly tired of the traditional ham and eggs, so Chef Fred Schmidt set out to create something new to tempt his guests’ palates. Thus, the Hot Brown was born, an open-face turkey sandwich with bacon, pimento, and a delicate mornay sauce. Who could have guessed that this dish would become such an enduring and well-loved Louisville tradition? Go behind the scenes with acclaimed Chef Joe Castro and learn how to make your own Hot Brown.
