It is Autumn, and that means one thing — truffles! OK, Autumn mean a lot of things, but for the sake of this article, let’s just say it means one thing. And that one thing is …truffles! Bouchon in Beverly Hills will be celebrating truffle season by featuring both white and black burgundy shaved truffle as an optional addition to any dish (shaved white truffle mousse, anyone?). The restaurant recommends adding the white truffles to carnaroli risotto, scrambled farm eggs and the Croque Madame. Or add fresh Burgundy truffles to your Le Burger or NY Strip Steak.
