Tom Michaels, a plant pathologist with a doctorate in mycology, has brought the elusive Tuber melanosporum, grown in the unlikely hills of East Tennessee, to chefs such as Daniel Boulud and other high profile players in New York, Atlanta, Boston, and even Paris. He has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Gentleman's Quarterly, among other notable publications. While his personal production is--at time of writing--wound down to a whisper, he continues to make discoveries and experiment with growing techniques that will transform our world of truffles as we know it.
