TRUFFLE TRASH BRUNCH
NOVEMBER 25TH
Known as the “black diamonds” of the kitchen, truffles are the world’s most prized mushroom. truffles have a mild, subtly musky, earthy flavor that enhances many foods. The winter white truffle (Tuber magnatum) is sometimes called a Piedmont or Alba Truffle, because Italy has been blessed with an abundance of white truffles. Harvested from October to December, the short winter season adds to the mystique that surrounds this fungus. they are harvested by truffle Hunting trained dogs. They are prized by chefs and cooks all over the world. Today we use the “peelings”, “skins” and “bits” of the tuber (that are otherwise too small to shave on a truffle mandoline) from our white truffles and add them to these delicious plant based brunch dishes.
Enjoy!
THREE COURSE MENU $40.00
