| - There's something about Phillip's Place that reminds me of my beloved home in California. The outdoor style, old towne construction and lo and behold, a Dean and Deluca!
I love Dean and Deluca. It's a foodie's paradise packed into a small, navigable shop. You have your ready-to-eat/deli, your barista, your bakery, your confectionery, your butcher, cheese etc. all in one place. The best part: the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, plus you get to taste samples. I used to turn my nose up at ready-made dips or sauces, but this place has some great ones.
Try the Bread and Butter Pickle Jalapeno Dip by Fiesta - mix that with some cream cheese and you've got one tasty dip! Make sure you don't accidentally buy the overly spicy Texas Longhorn brand. Their Roasted Red Pepper and Onion dip is delicious too.
If you're looking for a hard to find vinegar, oil or seasoning - chances are, you'll find them at Dean and Deluca (albeit at a slightly higher price point).
I like buying bread there and on my way out, I grab a Chai latte - they make the best!
