Evelyn Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Â I'm looking forward to my first sampling of this year's harvest at our premier local Italian restaurant in a few days. Â What a treat! Â Don't forget to tell them to cook your truffles. Â Â Oddly enough, back when Masa was in LA at Ginza Sushi-Ko, one evening's menu when I dined there had a course of whole fried white truffle (guessing about 1/3-1/2 oz.). It was interesting--but a total waste of a white truffle as far as I was concerned. I would much rather have had it raw and shaved over the seared Kobe beef that came a couple of plates later.
