THE HOT BROWN SANDWICH OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
This legendary Kentucky sandwich is definitely one you don't want to pass up. The Mornay sauce is smooth, creamy and super cheesy. Onion adds a bit of sweetness to the sauce. Tomato and bacon are the classic toppings are a must. The bacon adds a nice touch of smokiness. Indulgent and delicious!
