STAFF PICK PIMENTO CHEESE
B Side & Red Apron Butchery

As the manifestation of Southern foods’ continued dominance, pimento cheese is everywhere. On your burger. As a dip for soft pretzels. In lieu of butter in a bread basket. No one’s version tops B Side’s. It’s smoky (from smoking the mayonnaise) and spicy. Creamy but also texturally interesting. It’s also just delicious. Next door at Red Apron Butchery, you can buy it for at-home consumption ($7 for an 8-ounce tub). –SG
