Wagyu, Truffle, Caviar
A very different meal than our usual truffle dinners – wagyu nigiri with truffle and caviar, ramen, and a wagyu steak. Andrea and Trisha picked up the wagyu from the butcher shop at Niku steakhouse.

For dinner, we had fonduta, basically Italian fondue made with Fontina, seared salmon, and some broccoli (had to get some cruciferous vegetables) and a little bit of toasted Acme bread. We topped…
