Had to choose between using a $40 bottle of white truffle oil or just finishing the dish with good butter for a table of 8 last night.
I went with the butter, and the guest who ordered it sent it back twice saying it lacked 'that special something' I was trying to avoid making the whole plate taste like a gimmick, you know?

What did they want, a gold leaf?

Right? A gold leaf is the perfect example of someone being extra for no reason.

Honestly, sending a dish back twice over truffle oil is a bit much. It's just oil. Maybe they had a bad day and took it out on the plate. The butter was probably the better call anyway.
