This won't work. I don't always want to use collection_select since I don't always need the object/model bindings (i.e. in a search form). So this worked for me:
<%= select_tag "some_select", "<option></option>" + options_from_collection_for_select(@foo, "id", "item") %>
This works because options_from... returns a string of <option> tags. Just add a blank option tag on to the front of the string.
