Berkeley-based Truffle Shuffle is a pandemic pivot story starring two former sous chefs, Jason McKinney and Tyler Vorce, who worked in the kitchens of Michelin Star restaurants, including The French Laundry. Like all serious foodies, they love truffles and were building a business around selling gourmet truffle products when the pandemic hit.
