Black Truffles

tis the season for fresh black truffles...

Thought I'd give a heads up for fresh black truffles at Treasure Island (2121 N. Clyborne). $39/oz.

I bought a smallish (but plenty for a dinner for 2) truffle for around $13.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to see if suburban Treasure Islands have these treasures!

Mmmm. Truffles.

Anyone seen a truffle (not just oil, butter or cheese) lately?
Northern burbs would make it easy, but I'll make a special trip if needed.

Fox & Obel has white truffles at I believe about $230 per ounce. As of Thursday night, there were a couple of smallish truffles in the jar.

Found black truffles at Whole Foods in Northbrook. Two small lumps in a jar for $30.99. I hope it turns out to be worth it.

I just bought a very nice black summer truffle in San Fran and brought it home. where can I buy truffles in chicago?

Last time I needed truffles, I bought a small jar with 2 or 3 1" specimens from Whole Foods, in some kind of liquid (I don't remember what kind). Look near the cheese department.

It was good enough for truffle deviled eggs, I don't know that I'd try to do an Alinea Black Truffle Explosion with that.

Any one know where to find fresh truffles in the Oak Park area?

Thanks

Fresh? In Oak Park?

Sorry - never seen 'em, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
I assume you already know WF has them in jars.

Bring your pig to Taylor Park. You may have luck there.

I'll thank you not to refer to my Mother-in-law that way!

Ba-Dum-Bum-CRASH!
