November at Millennium: White Truffle Festival & Thanksgiving!

[Guest guest]

White Truffles have been prized by gourmets for centuries and were credited by the ancient Greeks & Romans with both therapeutic & aphrodisiac powers. Join us on Monday, November 18th as Millennium’s creative cooks get their chance to put these claims to the test! At their peak for only a short season, Piedmont’s perfumed prize export makes an exclusive appearance five times over in a Millennium debut dinner: a Five-course White Truffle Showcase.Held in conjunction with the White Truffle Festival in various cities throughout the country, this is your rare opportunity to have chef Eric Tucker, sous-chef Bruce Enloe, and pastry chef Amy Pearce tableside to shave this famous fungus onto a truffle infused menu created especially for this event. For the perfect complement to these tasty tubers, we’ve enlisted the help of our friends and fellow truffle enthusiasts at Fiume Wines, providing a taste of Piedmonte with a wine-pairing menu of their unique, high quality, all-organic, all-Italian Vintages. In addition, their most outspoken supporter, Santé Losio, will be on hand to talk about the organic wine industry in his native Italy and to charm us all with his sunny Mediterranean disposition. Also making a special appearance, the Festival Producer, John Edward Smith, will be here with personal and informative anecdotes, undoubtedly adding the crowning touch to this enjoyable evening. Join us for this rare culinary & cultural experience!______________________White Truffle Festival Showcase DinnerMonday, November 18th, 20026:30 p.m. seating onlyFive-Course White Truffle Menu and Italian Wine Pairing$175 per guestReservations Required; seating is very limited.(415)487-9800 ext. 0 for reservations______________________A preview of our White Truffle menu will be posted on our website within a couple of days…http://www.millenniumrestaurant.com _____________________For more information about the Festival:http://www.italmangia.com/truffle_festival_2002.html _____________________As we make the transition from the warmth of summer to fall’s shorter, cooler days, Millennium begins preparations for our own upcoming Holiday Tradition: Thanksgiving Dinner.On Thursday, November 28th, we suggest you leave the cooking in our capable hands and invite you & your guests to five festive courses inspired by Autumn’s bountiful harvest.
