Granted not at French Laundry but I’ve done this at a fancy NYC restaurant. I’ve also had less desirable truffles (summer truffles) at a far less fancy restaurant in Italy. The Italian ones were much better. The decay function on truffles is insane. Maybe the very top restaurants can get them from ground to plate in 48 hours but it’s pretty clear that the meal I had used truffles older than that. I’m excited about the possibility of US truffles because I think a very tight supply chain is more likely.
