Special VIP IU Tasting Menu

Last week the Dean of the IU business school came in and asked Dave to prepare a "no expense spared, no holds barred" tasting menu. They have a very VIP guest coming in from Korea and they need to really WOW him. So we have ordered White Truffles from Italy (1/4# at $3000/pound)! Then, we're going to be showcasing a lot of local foods from around the area. We'll be using some elk, rabbit loin, foie gras torchon, our house smoked whitefish, persimmons, apples...This is how it all came together.
