Fried brain sandwich
Anyone know where to get creamy delicious fried brains in New York? Had a great fried brain sandwich at Evansville, IN's Hilltop Inn--http://fatandhappyfoodslut.com/2006/12/21/5-best-and-worst-evansville-eats-joys-and-killjoys/-- but I've come up short back in the City.

Lamb, pig or calf would do, though I'd prefer not to risk brain function with Mad Cow Disease, poetic a form of justice as that might be.

oh my goodness, I admire your culinary palette...but I just can't even think of it!

On a recent visit to Enoteca Barbone (in the east village) they had lamb brains as an entree. I didn't order it, and not sure of how it was prepared,
but hey, it's a start.

Brain sandwiches are an old St. Louis thing, often served in the German taverns in South St. Louis. Deep-fried, white bread. A few places served them still, until mad cow came along and pretty much put paid to them. I still occasionally hear folks asking about where to eat them. I'd worry less about lamb brains. But frankly, deep-frying isn't the best treatment for something whose texture and flavor are that delicate (beef, calf or lamb), IMHO.

Yes, pretty much all of us watched Alton eat his way across the States some months ago and go out of his way to find a brain sandwich in the midwest. As good as they appeared on screen, I wouldn't eat one with your lips. I am quite sure that I had made that decision long before Mad Cow Disease was a topic of concern in the kitchen. I'm sure that I'd think less of NYC if any one of you actually knew of a local pusher. Beyond that, most any other orfal had better watch itself around me. I grew up on stewed pigtails and had both sauted liver and tripe soup for lunch today.

I doubt you can find one that far north but if you'd like another one from Hilltop I can freeze one and then overnite it to you. They are quite tasty arent they?
