Artichoke Spinach Dip

Been held up on posting the weekend story but hopefully should get posted today. Anyway, on a different topic, I am an expert on artichoke spinach dip. Weird thing to be an expert in but I have tried it pretty much at every restaurant I've been to. If you want to know which one's the best it depends on what your looking for. If you want a more salty taste the dip at Ruby Tuesdays or TGI Fridays is pretty good (Fridays gives you 4 large pieces of garlic bread or something to dip as well as chips). More creamy would have to be a place called Ram's Head (yeah...i know...awesome). Ram's Head also serves the dip in a bread bowl which is cool. On my birthday I went to Magianno's (see below) and got it there. Not bad but very stringy (because it was obviously made fresh). Overall, I think the best dip comes from Olive Garden, possibly because you eat the dip with toasted little pieces of bread instead of chips. It's not too salty or creamy or stringy. Olive Garden also happens to be the first place I had artichoke spinach dip.

For worst places to eat dip it would have to be a tie between a few restaurants. This is because they all use the same type of dip. Must be the cheap kind. A place called the Spaghetti Warehouse is one of them. It's not overly bad tasting but has a weird aftertaste (probably because of the food die or preservatives...or in Spaghetti Warehouse's case...added bacon juice). The dip is also similar to the TGIF frozen dip you can buy at the supermarket (which is the nastiest of them all but doesn't really count since it's at a supermarket).

Yep...so...uh..yeah...artichoke spinach dip is good. Carry on.
