Crossword Genius

Found in brasserie, a German very hungry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eager

'hungry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'found in brasserie a german' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EAGER' is hidden in the letters of 'brasserie a german'.

'very' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eager that I've seen before include "Keenly expectant" , "Agree (anag.)" , "Enthusiastic, full of desire" , "It's a bore" , "Impatient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
