The never ending blizzard of white truffles! More on this later — still wrapping my head around the amount of white truffles I had in one meal 😆 from not one but three chefs!

Thank you so much for having me @nick_rotella @ottoemezzobombanashanghai @ottoemezzobombana_hongkong @umbertobombana @ottoemezzobombana_macau @marinodantonio 

White truffle menu is ONNN
