Sublime Artichoke Dip

June 1st, 2009

The list of things that get added to artichoke dips to make them more “fancy” or “sophisticated” is endless: from red chili peppers to crab meat to sliced eggplant. On the other hand, more casual places tend to cheapen up by serving the dip with corn chips, an act that I regard as near-blasphemy!

While I certainly do not look down on the occasional garnish, it’s getting to a rare treat to see a delightful dish served in it’s purest form, and that’s precisely what I’ve come to expect from Berryhill & Co. Their artichoke dip is served hot, with melted cheeses (feta and parmesan) and simple, fresh baked bread.

Simple, unsophisticated and gobbled up before anything else at the table is touched.
