A Zombie’s Food Guide: Where to Eat Brains in NYC

Want to fine dine like a zombie? As we were researching our brain-munching Halloween video, we discovered these New York restaurants that serve up cerebrums:

Sautéed Calf’s Brains (Pictured above) At Chez Napoleon in midtown, we really enjoyed the classic French dish cervelle de veau—which is just a fancy way of saying cow brains sautéed in a ton of butter. If Julia Child rose from the dead, this is how she’d cook your brain.

Barbecued Pig Brains On Sundays, they barbecue up a whole hog at Fatty ‘Cue in Williamsburg. Call ahead and they’ll save you the head. Added bonus: In addition to brains, you get eyeballs and face meat!

Roasted Lamb Brain They don’t list it on the menu, but the Greek restaurant Uncle George’s in Astoria roasts whole lambs heads. The Greeks consider it a delicacy. We considered a stomach pump.

Cow Brain Sandwich Put your brains on bread at Karam in Bay Ridge. Expert tip: Squirt on ketchup to make it look bloody!

Fried Cow Brains St. Anselm in Williamsburg fries up cow noggins like they’re McNuggets, complete with a tasty dipping sauce. This is how Ronald McDonald will eat your brain.

Enough talking about eating brains, time to watch it happen! Check out our video of us munching grey matter. We promise it’s just as funny as it is repulsive…
