White Truffles

Not true -

Seeger's in "the dirty south" has a truffle menu right now... $225. for five courses...

By the dirty South I meant Durham and the surrounding area, North Carolina. Though the presence of white truffles in the South is an entirely different topic.

I also had the veal chop at Babbo with white truffles. The dish itself was amazing; double cut chop, mushrooms, fontina cheese... my only issue was with the truffle! A small, small dried up end piece of the truffle was brought to our table- I was actually worried that the server was going to cut his finger on the slicer! The flavor was mediocre at best. Too bad. The rest of the meal was fantastic- love the food at Babbo. I had amazing white truffles at Per Se last week, by the way.

Unfortunate. The truffle I had shaved was sized like a walnut and very aromatic. The whole truffle was used, not just a piece of one. It literally covered the whole veal chop and then some.
