We're number one! The morning newspaper announced that a local restaurant had been voted the "Manliest Restaurant in America."

I know you are on pins and needles wanting to know what their claim to fame is.

The nearly 13,000 brain sandwiches they sell each year.

Thanks to this prestigious award that number is likely to rise. The prize was given through AOL's humor and men's lifestyle site and the second place winner wasn't even close.

"There's definitely something about mashing up something's brain, frying it in a pan and dropping it on a bun that's guaranteed to put hair on your chest. This is a proud day for brain eaters throughout our 50 states and around the world," Editor-in-Chief of Asylum was quoted as saying from his New York office.

Yes indeed. Our little Hilltop Inn beat out the best of Chicago, Denver, Washington, D.C. and Boston.

The sous chef at Hilltop explained, in regards to the expertise needed to create a brain sandwich start to finish, "It's very hands-on. You have to be very meticulous. I don't let many people try to do it."

Last week visitors from Austria showed up to try the delicacy. They had read about the award and wanted to experience it first-hand.

Waste not, want not. And that's what I'm thinking about today.
