Coda alla Vaccinara - Eat Like a Roman Butcher…

I have always wanted to try brains…the trouble is that whenever I have tried to order them from somewhere, I have been told that they have been banned because of fears of BSE.

This looks completely amazing, Chris!

I absolutely love how your mind works! You inspire me to keep thinking differently about food. Thanks for that.

I love using fish spines - especially from the chinook salmon and stripers we catch in the Sacramento River. We brine them and smoke them, then eat like finger food - I just find it easier to get the meat off the spines when you don’t have to be neat.

I had this dish at Incanto in the fall (did the Il Quinto Quarto Tasting Menu) and it was excellent. Definitely our favorite of the five, though the cocks’ combs came in a close second.

(do Matts like offal the most?)
