Bourbon Pizza Comes To Kentucky

Kentucky is definitely not a place that comes to mind when most people think about pizza. But a recent e-mail tipped me off to an interesting new type of pie that is currently being served down there: The Four Roses Kentucky Bourbon Hot Brown Pizza. The pie melds two cherished Kentucky classics — bourbon and a dish known as the Hot Brown (a sandwich that contains turkey and bacon).

Four Roses Bourbon teamed with Louisville’s Impellizzeri’s Pizza to create the pie — and the final recipe called for bacon soaked in Four Roses bourbon, and the tweaking of a house-made alfredo sauce to emulate the traditional Mornay sauce used in a Hot Brown.
