Celebrate Louisville’s first Hot Brown Week with “spokeshorse”

Trainers say it was the six-year-old horse’s destiny to become Hot Brown Week’s spokeshorse.

Derby City’s first-ever Hot Brown Week is happening now through Sun., Oct. 30, and the event celebrating the 502’s culinary icon has the exact spokesperson to match.

Rather, spokeshorse. Six-year-old racing champion, Somelikeithotbrown of locally-based Skychai Racing, was tapped to represent the inaugural event, in which restaurants, including Cask Southern Kitchen and The Uptown Cafe, will be offering $10+ hot browns across the city all week.

Currently residing at Churchill Downs, Somelikeithotbrown has achieved 10 first-place finishes with career earnings of $1.6 million. He’s also the son of 2008 Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown.

To participate in Hot Brown Week, download the app + check in at four or more different restaurants to be entered to win a $250 gift card. See the full list of participating restaurants.

Pro tip: If you rack up 150 points in the app during the week, you’ll win a special ‘Get Down with The Hot Brown’ t-shirt.
