“It’s exciting to have a collection of restaurants participate, each with their own unique style and take on how to use truffles in our dishes,” a quote from our partner Chef Mario Carbone. “Like at DAILY and Saison, we’ll incorporate fresh truffles and truffle products, not only into our menu at Abruzzo, a traditional steakhouse, but also at the more casual Casciano’s, where we’ll use truffle cream in our paninis, for example. While Wanderlust is going with black truffle burgers from Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors.”

Items we will be offering include fresh lacquered Nantucket scallops with shaved truffle and foie gras cream; Amish free range chicken stuffed with burgundy black truffles and served with roasted root vegetables with truffle jus; manicotti-stuffed shells filled with ground veal and truffled ricotta and pan roasted Rohan Duck Breast with fresh shaved truffle, among other truffle-infused dishes and bites.
