Personal Notes:
We had this at Theresa Meyers' house for a family reunion - Party in your mouth! Too good!!! Serve with slaw or green salad & a light dessert (Chocolate cake). Hot Brown was created & still served in the Brown Hotel, downtown Louisville. Those from out of town love it - have never heard of it.
