If you've studied the Louisville restaurant scene at all, you've
likely learned of the hot brown — an open-faced turkey-and-
bacon sandwich with Mornay (cheese) sauce. This rich and filling
feast was created at the Brown Hotel 87 years ago, and is still on
the menu today. In addition, many Louisville restaurants have
created iterations of the popular dish, including soup, burgers and
pizza. To help folks find these great dishes, Louisville has created
The Hot Brown Hop. Visit www.culinaryLouisville.com for a list of
restaurants on the "hop."
Fourth Street, home to more than 25 bars and restaurants and
the site of the GIE+EXPO concerts, is also known as one of the

lar choices on Fourth Street include Brazeiros Churrascaria
Brazillian Steakhouse, Gordon Biersch Brewery, and Hard
Rock Café. To learn more about Fourth Street Live!, visit

With so many attractions, activities and restaurants from which
