It's Truffle Season!!!
Alas, Pizzeria Delfina is only serving their truffle pizza starting next week. Being the DIY gal I am, I decided I would bring my own truffles and shave it over a white pizza. And I did just that. (I asked the restaurant first if they were ok with it...I imagine it's kind of like BYOB but BYOT).
So here's the plan kiddos - where to buy white Alba truffles in SF:
--Bi-Rite 18th and Divisadero have them at $5 per gram. A suggested serving amount at fine dining establishments is 10 grams.
--Far West Fungi in Ferry Building has them as well.
--Whole Foods SOMA is due for some next week! (but they're small like about the size of a shooter marble probably)
Then grab your shaver, your truffle and take to any delicious Italian restaurant and order up some simple risotto, cream sauce gnocchi or best yet, white pizza with an egg.
Furthermore after reading this Eater Article about the mark up of white truffles at restaurants, I'm thinking about investing in that giant billiards ball sized guy ($400) from Far West Fungi and carrying it in my Birkin in it's own risotto cushioned carrying case and shaver.
