Truffle oil tastes great on cinnamon-raisin bagels.

Urbani has a store on West End Avenue at 60th street. It's not really geared to retail customers, and seems to be mostly a place where they service restaurant customers, but one can walk in and buy a truffle. The nice thing about the place is that unlike ordering online, you can sniff the goods in person and pick out the one you like. If you get on their email list, they will let you know when they are having a sale, and during the season, when their supply is good, they will discount 30% to as much as 50% off.

That is something I think should be illegal. Doesn't save bad fries, but certainly ruins good ones.
Ditto. I find no excuse for truffle oil but you see some surprisingly high end restaurants using it.
1. 2,4-dithiapentane doth not a truffle make. 'The newspaper of record on this topic.

My dog flat out refused bread dipped in fake truffle oil. That speaks volumes (re: he eats deer shit and likes it). The bottle went into the trash.

I went to a fancy upper east side bistro that my sister picked out, about two weeks ago. She ordered the "truffle fries." Stuff was redolent of chemistry set, I actually had to back my chair away from the table to avoid the noxious fumes.
Ghastly.
