Get ready to dive into a week of cheesy, saucy, Southern goodness — it’s time for the infamous Hot Brown Trail in Downtown Frankfort!

The week leading up to Derby, our local restaurants are putting their own creative spin on Kentucky’s most iconic dish —and trust us, these aren’t your grandma’s Hot Browns (but she’d totally approve).

From the classic flavors you crave to bold, unexpected twists, this is your chance to taste your way through Frankfort’s most indulgent, melty masterpieces.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to crown your favorite.

Happening the week before Derby!

Dates: April 24 - May 2, 2026
