As I write this post, I feel that I’m still digesting the amazing plate of chicken and waffles I had from Kuzzo’s Chicken & Waffles for lunch yesterday. After a crazy long post-church wait for a table (y’all know how Sunday’s are!), I was able to introduce my fiancé to the incredible-ness that is a huge plate of crispy fried chicken with fresh homemade waffles doused in syrup. Whichever Einstein invented this concept might deserve a Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize of Genius Food Choices. This is a thing, people. (Or, it should be at least.)
But back to the food at hand! Quite literally speaking… I love a good dip! It’s the easiest way to throw together an appetizer that is simple and yet has the potential to be so elegant. This goat cheese dip epitomizes that concept: it pairs the creamy tanginess of goat cheese with a savory shallot and garlic vinaigrette, and is finished with lots of fresh parsley.
