Where is everyone getting their fix this year?
Do a search. I think there’s already a thread started for this season’s white truffles.
Spago has a nice haul of whites in.
@TheCookie I think that thread was where to buy truffles? Not sure.
Osteria Mozza has them. From the website:
"PRIMI
*We are happy to offer white truffles from Alba on selected dishes. 3 grams for an additional $54."
Oh okay. This is for restaurants?
I think so. Shall we take a vote, or simply dub so it by fiat?

Angelini Osteria
I will be going to Valentino’s next week, will report back.
Fantastic. AND Chef Sal (from the now-defunct Il Grano) is helming the kitchen at Marino.
If a distinguished-looking older gentleman (his name is Piero) comes by your table with an alba truffle and grater, please chat him up for as long as possible, ‘cuz he’ll just keep shaving truffles, slice after gorgeous slice, onto your dinner plate if he’s adequately distracted. Just sayin’.

Yep, I think so at least. I was taken there as a guest by a business associate, though, so I cannot confirm the price.
Although not in LA, I did get some white and black truffles in Vegas at Robuchon yesterday.

Chef Laurent said it was just too many courses for most people… 25 courses few years ago, now it’s 10 courses.
What’s that a scoop of to the right ?
it looks like ice cream
Robuchon’s signature mashed potatoes that are 90% butter 10% potato.
How much did that plate run you ?
It’s a prix fixe menu that ran $198, for two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert. After all the supplements, not including alcohol it was about $400 a person.
