Bourbon Distillery and Local Pizza Chain Join Forces for Bourbon Heritage Month LOUISVILLE, Ky. (September 7, 2010) – Four Roses Bourbon and Impellizzeri’s Pizza have teamed up in celebration of Bourbon Heritage Month to create a unique pizza recipe combining two of Kentucky’s finest offerings – Bourbon and the classic Louisville dish, the Hot Brown . “This pizza pairs two Kentucky classics, with the Hot Brown originating in Kentucky and 95 percent of the world’s bourbon being made in Kentucky as well,” said Four Roses Master Distiller Jim Rutledge . “This is one of the more creative uses of bourbon in cooking that I’ve come across and one I’d recommend Louisvillians try at least once while it’s available.” The recipe for the Kentucky Bourbon Hot Brown Pizza calls for tweaking a house-made alfredo sauce with dry herbs, spices and cheese to emulate the traditional Mornay sauce used in a Hot Brown, yet giving it an Italian twist.

The first words out of my friend's mouths were always: "That was good" Then, they would always ask: "Why is everyone yelling at each other?" I tried to explain, we weren't yelling....that was the way we talked. I'm a pretty loud person to this very day... One of the signature dishes was spaghtti sauce...I mean gravy. There is a lot of debate about what to call it. You'll have to decide yourself.
