Hot Browns and
Po-Boys…fried green tomatoes and bourbon pie!
The dining
scene in small-town Frankfort, Kentucky (the 4th smallest
capital city in the US) is down-home, yet down right delicious. On a
recent visit, I did not find sophisticated restaurants with Michelin stars,
starched linen tablecloths, and white-gloved waiters. However, what
I did find were fun diners, locally owned bistros, and Mom & Pop
restaurants, with food that would please even the most sophisticated
palate. My first dinner in Frankfort had to be that of the traditional
Kentucky favorite, the Hot Brown.
HOT BROWN is not a fashion statement…not a
trendy color to wear to an autumn dinner party. Hot Brown is dinner! It
is a culinary concoction dating back to the 1920’s when it was created at the
Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The Hot Brown has survived for
almost a century and has since become a ‘Kentucky Thing’.
