I love dip dinner. It’s my favorite of all the novelty meals, mostly because I don’t know anyone who isn’t downright delighted when presented with a steaming bowl of cheese-mixed-with-other-shit-but-pretty-much-just-cheese to dunk a sturdy chip in. There’s a Southwest-style, vaguely Mexican spicy corn dip; an inscrutable tomato-based concoction that is very scrumptious; and the Alison Roman labneh with fried scallions dip that tastes like fancy ranch dressing.
