The article discusses popular dip options, highlighting pimento cheese and queso. Pimento cheese is divisive, favored by some for its savory blend, while others dislike its texture. Chef Alex Guarnaschelli suggests pairing it with light crackers like saltines to balance its richness, recommending adding fresh herbs or hot sauce for more flavor. Queso is celebrated for its cheesiness and spice, traditionally served with tortilla chips. Guarnaschelli encourages creativity, suggesting pita chips topped with cheese as an alternative, enhancing both the chip and the dip experience.
"I think pimento cheese is rich...Like, it has some like giardiniera-adjacent vibes. So, I think your chip or cracker or whatever can be a little dialed down."
"There are few better things in life than spooning a jar of store-bought queso over your warm plate of homemade nachos."
