Anne and I are big Anthony Bourdain fans, especially some of his early work on the travel channel, before moving to CNN. On his "no reservations" series, he traveled the world and had a much lower key and sometimes off color perspective on things. It was sad to hear of his passing this year, but we had seen his show on Croatia years ago, which featured a restaurant specializing in truffles (Konoba Mondo) on our list. (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqcg4o). It is all worth watching, but if you want the truffle portion, it starts at minute 7.
Being in Motovun, we had to try it and so glad we did. This is a big step for Anne, who has a visceral reaction to truffle oil - but here, in the purest of countrysides, no fear - it's only real truffles sniffed out by truffle dogs that are on the menu, not truffle oil.
