Throw down on now (Louisville Hot Brown)

My first viewing, thought I'd share!

Man, even knowing the results, I was still bouncing out of my chair, rallying for the true love of my life, LOUISVILLE!!! I love the Castros, Robin and Todd! (oh yeah, Dwayne, too!)

I have seen that episode many times and still love watching it. The Ville is such an awesome place and I am glad we are getting so much pub on Food TV.

The story has been told so many times, surely you know it by now: Back in the Roaring Twenties, hotel Chef Fred Schmidt came up with an innovative creation to satisfy hungry guests who sought a midnight snack after the hotel's nightly dinner dances. As an alternative to ham and eggs, the chef topped a little toast with a slice of turkey (then still mostly known as a holiday treat), a dollop of cheesy Mornay sauce and a couple of strips of bacon. A new dish was born, and it has been popular ever since.


Great article about the Brown Hotel hot brown.

You're quite welcome and much too kind. I think I am just a graphical kinda dude.

Doesn't the Ville just TOTALLY rule?

Yeah for all of us, too, that appreciate and devote ourselves to the art!

He wrote a nice article about the throwdown. It's a decent read.

I see he didn't say who were the judges.

He did, though!

Local experts -- in this case Chef Todd Richards of the Oakroom and local food writer Robin Garr -- act as judges and pass their verdict on which of the two dishes win the challenge.

don't worry, BC - I miss that kinda stuff all the time by reading too fast.
