As a strapping 18/19 year old I'd eat these big double deckers, available at the local chili parlors in Cincinnati. perfect way to "top off" a night of drinking?

Laurel, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 14:50 (eighteen years ago)

I had one on Sunday.

Laurel, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 14:51 (eighteen years ago)

An open-faced turkey sandwich with turkey, bacon, pimientos, and a delicate Mornay sauce. The sandwich is place under the broiler to melt the cheese.

1926 - Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, created The Hot Brown sandwich in 1926. In the 1920s, the Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. The band would play until late, and when the band took bread, around midnight; people would retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Bored with the traditional ham and eggs, Chef Schmidt, delighted his guests by creating the Hot Brown.

The following story, about the creation of the Hot Brown sandwich, by Rudy Suck, hotel manager during the 1920s, was given to me by the Camberley Brown Hotel:

The Hot Brown was developed three or four years after the hotel opened when the supper dance business was falling off. The band would play from 10:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. When they took a break, around midnight, people would order food. It was usually ham and eggs.

We decided we needed something new. The chef, Fred K. Schmidt, said, "I have an idea for an open-faced turkey sandwich with Mornay sauce over it." At that time turkeys were only used at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they had just started selling them year-round.

I said, "That sounds a little flat." The chef said, "I'm going to put it under the broiler." The maitre d' said, "It should have a little color, too." So Schmidt said, "We'll put two strips of bacon on top of it." I said, "How about some pimiento." That's how the Hot brown came to be.

Today the Hot Brown sandwich is still a Louisville favorite and still the signature dish of the Camberley Brown Hotel. A visit to Louisville is not complete without tasting this wonderful sandwich.

m coleman, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 15:02 (eighteen years ago)

I've never had one. My grandparents lived in Louisville Ky, they used to talk about going to the Brown Hotel.

m coleman, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

of course. how could i have forgotten about the cubano! there's also just the straight-up pernil model as well...

s.clover, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

in no order (and excluding hamburgers and falafels):
1. Thanksgiving Sandwich (with stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce)
2. BLT (with mayo)
3. Grilled Cheese (homemade only)
4. Reuben
5. pepper turkey, red onions, lettuce, tomato, on roll with dijon mustard (deli quickie standard order)
6. Vietnamese Sandwich from some place in Seattle
7. Fish Po'boy
8. Any kind of turkey, melted cheese, hot pepper specialty sandwich with funny name like "El Diabolo"
9. Peanut Butter and Bacon (homemade only)
10. fuckit any kind of good roast beast with red onions and horseradish, I'd even take it Au Bon Pan

sexyDancer, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

and you know, roast beast and cream cheese are a knockout combo.

sexyDancer, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 17:50 (eighteen years ago)

so they are indeed.

cubano

Place in my hood makes the BEST CUBANS with home-roasted pork, delicious bread, and they're like $5 and two meals worth of sandwich (and i almost NEVER eat a sandwich in two meals.)

8. the "Kevorkian" from Geoff's in Providence, RI.
Hot pastrami, bacon, cheddar, frank's hot sauce, and weird marinated spicy saurkraut called "Dragon's Breath." I usually get it on rye.

ian, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

Oh YEAH, I used to get those cubanos whenever I was hungover. With a highly sweetened coffee I can get through a whole sammy in one sitting. One rather long sitting. About as long as the subway ride from our hood up to the Museum of the City of New York, as I did once.

Actually ever since the first picture on this thread I have been craving thinly-sliced roast beef (which I rarely do because often it's gristly, skunky, or has that weird sheen to it) so I went out and bought some, not sure at the time of where the craving came from.

It's in the fridge. What I'm thinking of doing is frying it a bit in a dry pan. I will activate the fats in the beef and cause them to become more delicious.

Can't forget the muffaletta. (Even though I don't eat them myself because I don't like olives.)

Rock Hardy, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

I used to take whole wheat, super-soft loaf, and put hummus, president's choice "sweet with heat" mustard, thinly cut dill pickles, genoa salami, cheddar, thinly sliced tomato and probably a couple of other things that i forget (possibly alfalfa if there was some around, maybe a bit of mayo). i'd stick them all into one of those sandwich presses that makes your food into little, like, self-contained pocket things. these were the best thing in the WORLD and i called them liquid sex (even though they were neither intercourse nor fluid).

Will M., Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:19 (eighteen years ago)

In Pittsburgh they have something that sounds similar to the hot brown, it's called a Devonshire. Basically they put toasted white bread, turkey or crab and savory cheddar and/or parmesan cheese bechamel sauce and put it under the broiler, sometimes with cooked bacon on top.

one of the sandwiches Kinsey Millhone talks about in the Sue Grafton novels is peanut butter and pickle. didn't see this mentioned. they are great!

xmas respecter (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 2 January 2020 17:27 (six years ago)

When we moved to our village, we would get sandwiches pretty often at the deli a block away form our apartment. Maybe three years later the deli changed hands and was never the same. They had a sandwich that still haunts my memory 15 years later: the Roast Beef Special was hot roast beef on garlic bread with caramelized onions, melted Swiss cheese, and horseradish sauce.

They also had a variation, the Ken's Special, which was roast beef on garlic bread, with caramelized onions, melted cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and special sauce (ketchup/mayo combo).

Robert Corwen (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 2 January 2020 17:54 (six years ago)

it is a bit surreal to watch a live audience go wild after pepin prepares "eggs jeanette" before them in 5 minutes. like a stsanders video but for cooking.
