Written by Scott Joseph on .

It’s truffle time, and I have a couple of dandy places for you to get a taste of the extremely expensive delicacy.

Do you know about truffles? It’s OK if you don’t. Food knowledge is something that comes in small bites. This may shock you, but I wasn’t born with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things edible (not going to die with one, either -- many things yet to discover). But back when I decided I wanted to learn more about food and cooking and fine dining -- oh, let’s just say a few decades ago, because that doesn’t sound as bad as a third of a century -- I kept hearing about the highly valued truffle, but I had never experienced one.
