So what if every god-fearing American chain has got a (decent) dip appetizer on its plastic-coated menu? We know an it-worthy dish when we taste it—and Magnolia goes classic with a spinach-artichoke version that’s not only good, it’s surprisingly big for its $10 price and trendy Hollywood locale. The concoction of sour cream and mayo (oh, get over it) is generous with artichoke hearts—no offending shellfish in the mix. Served in an oval baker that accommodates everybody’s reach, it comes glowingly warm with a pile of pita chips and golden parmesan crust. Squeeze into the glamazon lounge. You’ll feel like you’re at the Waldorf Astoria, slumming it with the dip-eating crowd.
