Checking out Hall's on the River

Another RoadFood.com stop was Hall's on the River. We had made a note to have their Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich but also found a couple of other treats. Our server suggested the fried banana peppers as an appetizer. We'd never had fried banana peppers so we gave them a shot; that's them in the lower left portion of the picture. They were not as sweet as Linda had expected but we agreed they were tasty. Along with the peppers came a small sample of what we've learned is their beer cheese soup. RoadFood.com recommended it but I'd forgotten; at least we did get a taste.

The Hot Browns arrived and we were quite impressed. Before the trip, we'd read that there are variations but a hot brown is generally an open-faced sandwich with tomato, turkey, ham, and bacon, covered in a Mornay sauce and baked until the sauce is brown. As you may see in the images on the right, that's what we got. It's a delicious, rich, and filling sandwich.

We also learned a bit about the history of the area. Daniel Boone plays prominently in the immediate area. You can read about it at the Hall's on the River website.
