Le Città del Tartufo—The Truffle Towns of Italy

Thursday, November 8, 2007, 5:30 to 11:00 pm

Just in time for the start of white truffle season, the James Beard Foundation is importing more than 25 pounds of truffles and three great truffle chefs from Italy’s principal truffle towns for our annual holiday auction. A spectacular live auction will feature one-of-a-kind culinary and exclusive gourmet travel packages including private dinners prepared by the world’s greatest chefs and the Italian truffle trip of a lifetime, including a truffle hunt for you and your friends. Other unique and rare gourmet gifts will also be available in a large silent auction. Proceeds from the dinner and auctions will support the mission and programs of the James Beard Foundation.
