Brain Power---Top Ten of 2011 #6

Cashion's Eat Place has long since lost its namesake chef, Ann Cashion. But it has not lost lost her daring and inventive take on cutting-edge American food. The perfect example is the crispy lamb's brain appetizer. Three or four crunchy nuggets filled with unctuous, slippery, brain. Served simply with a lemon wedge and a citrus aioli, it's the kind of dish that you won't soon forget, no matter how hard you try. It helps keep the menu fresh, and is also a great conversation starter. You go first....Slurp.
