Public House Truffle Week

What: Truffles… maybe you’ve heard of them! Truffles are a form of fungus that grow underground with tree roots. Oregon is home to 4 native truffle species, and they are widely celebrated in February because it's the traditional time for the truffle harvest season. Truffle Harvesting is usually during the rainier months in Oregon, and the climate in the Valley is ideal for growing truffles because of the cool temperatures, steady rainfall and shady forests. As a matter of fact, in 2024, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek designated February as Oregon Truffle Month. Truffles are a sought-after ingredient for chefs, and the chefs at PublicHouse have requested an event that is truffle-centric! This is the VERY REASON why the folks at PublicHouse have decided to make it a celebration! Truffles are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways, including: Truffle cheese and charcuterie plates, Truffle bread, Truffle butter, Truffle-inspired dishes, and even Truffle stouts. Food: Each kitchen at PublicHouse is going to feature truffles throughout the week, and as an added bonus, you’ll receive a raffle ticket with each truffle dish you try. Hand the tickets into the bartender to be entered into the Truffle 25 Raffle. Stay tuned for all of the tasty creations you can expect, but here is just a bite: from Tonalli Latin Kitchen: Papas Con Queso: Baked Potato Fried to order with White Truffle Queso and Chive from Shalosh: Grilled Carrots with Truffle Labneh, Truffle Honey, Harissa Oil, Pistachio Dukkah, Herbs from Moi Poki Grill: Lobster Roll with a Warm Truffle Butter and a side of Arugula Salad with Lemon Truffle Dressing from NorthWest Burgers: Truffle fried egg burger with truffle parmesan garlic fries from Black Market BBQ: Black Market BBQ will be adding Truffles for an option to their Mac & Cheese from NorthWest Pizza: Truffle cheese pizza with truffle oil And more to be announced!
