Hot Brown

According to wikipedia, "A Hot Brown is a hot sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926. It was one of two signature sandwiches created by chefs at the Brown Hotel shortly after its founding in 1923." While I did not order it from the originators at the Brown Hotel, I trust my replica from a restaurant down the street in Louisville is close to authentic. It is nothing I'd ever order again! The open-faced sandwich consists of sliced turkey on top of white toast and covered with cheddar cheese. The one I ordered was garnished with bacon and a tomato. The presentation was unappealing and the taste was uninspiring.

I would not recommend the restaurant where this one was served!
