The Sustainable White Truffle →
I’m surprised the licensing and training of these truffle hunters is so organized. I feel as though it would still be a free-for-all.
We had a truffle dinner at work last week that showcased whites from the Piedmont region in Italy.

Tom Douglas, owner of 12 restaurants in Seattle (which include the one of which I work) was on The Chew yesterday.
