Top 3 Hot Browns in Louisville

Top Tier EditorialSourcesLEO Weekly

  1. 1

    The Brown Hotel

    Downtown

    The origin — chef Fred Schmidt invented the Hot Brown here in 1926. LEO's breakfast guide sends you to J. Graham's Cafe inside the hotel as the canonical version, turkey and bacon under Mornay on toast.

  2. 2

    J Graham's Cafe

    Downtown

    LEO's breakfast guide calls the Brown Hotel's lobby-level cafe 'historic and elegant as the home of the original Hot Brown sandwich,' with a weekday a la carte breakfast and a weekend Kentucky buffet brunch.

  3. 3

    The Goose Eatery & Hangout

    Lyndon

    The former Goose Creek Diner, relocated to Lyndon as The Goose — LEO-era reviews call the Mornay here the nearest suburban analogue to the Brown Hotel's, with crispy bacon and toast that never goes soggy.
