Louisville's food scene has quietly become one of the best in the American South. The NuLu neighbourhood and Bardstown Road in the Highlands are where most of the best restaurants cluster. The local speciality is the hot brown — an open-faced turkey sandwich smothered in Mornay sauce and bacon, invented at the Brown Hotel in 1926 and still served there daily. Bourbon shows up on menus across the city, both in cooking and cocktails.
