We also had a starter course featuring the truffles. King crab Risotto with shaved white truffle. The riso was Acquerello. We always have truffles in the house, just never whites this early in the year. We sold the starter for $35 and I was amazed as it was are top selling app. Just thought I would share my Humble experience with a noble mushroom.

The whites aren't usually in until November, right? Sounds like a great course. That said, I think my ultimate use for a white truffle would be shaved over a simple baked potato a la Charlie Trotter. What did you pay per pound?
