4th o’ July is right around the corner, which for the kiddos (big & small) means fireworks but for the hungry, means BBQ’s.
And if you’re not hosting one, chances are you’re attending one. And if you fall into the latter category, and provided you have manners, you will probably ask the obligatory “can I bring anything” question.
The answer depends on the host but usually falls into a few select categories: more booze, paper goods, chips, dip, more booze… oh and ice. How come everyone (including myself) always forgets ice?
In any event, this post caters specifically to those asked to bring dip…
If asked to bring booze might I suggest this!
Specifically those who want to make a killer dip.
A dip that happily makes it onto the chin and into the bellies of happy BBQ goers everywhere.
A dip that Sweets and I heard about maybe 10 minutes after we were invited to a BBQ this weekend (before the 4th) on the Food Networks’ “Best Thing I Ever Ate” program.
Iron Chef Michael Symon was boasting on about a guacamole he had at Lopez Southwest Kitchen in Cleveland, Ohio while I was doing a little Sunday afternoon Facebook stalking… when Sweets turned around and suggested we make this.
Guacamole with Bacon (we used Turkey Bacon), Blue Cheese and Sage.
And so we did.
And it was delicious.
