As bad as Philadelphia cheesesteaks coming with CheezWhiz.

By far the best hot brown I have had in LEX was at The Merrick Inn:

While it's a fairly upscale place (note that they have ALL of the expressions of Pappy Van Winkle available), the hot brown is amazing. I'd suggest that we kick things off for this DO with hot browns and fine bourbon at The Merrick Inn (the more casual outdoor patio seating is great if the weather is nice).

Also for those looking for other things to do, or for an addition to the semi-official DO itinerary, a tour of Old Friends Farm (a thoroughbred retirement home) in Georgetown is a lot of fun.

The tour there does take over 2 hours but it is a great way to meet some retired superstars of the sport of kings. You get to feed carrots to Derby and Preakness winner Silver Charm, among many others. Highly recommended.
