No excursion through Louisville food would be complete without getting a plate of Hot Brown from the official origin and namesake of the dish the Brown Hotel’s Lobby Bar, J. Graham’s Café, or English Grill.

No authentic tour of the local Louisville foodie landscape is complete without Benedictine, made famous by Jennie Carter Benedict born in Harrods Creek, KY in the late 1800’s and now a signature dish of Kentucky. Our favorite twist on the cucurbit concoction is the Benedictine BLT at O’Shea’s on Whiskey Row.

The trademarked pie of the Kentucky Derby with chocolate and pecans is now world-renowned, but did you know Muth’s Candies chocolates and signature Modjeska’s predate the pies by over 50 years. Muth’s Candies are a time-honored tradition that has been around for over a century, hand-making chocolates daily, and we would be willing to bet at least $2 that they have been eaten at every derby since Sir Barton won the triple crown.
