Two of our favorite Chicago restaurants serve amazing caramelized onion dip. One uses labneh (strained Greek yogurt), and the other serves the creamy concoction with homemade potato chips. Both are beyond crave-worthy. I happily brave traffic to indulge.

Admittedly, Lipton’s “California” dip fuels our fascination. Dried onion soup stirred into sour cream for a time-tested appetizer that evokes Saturday night bridge parties and “fancy” picnics.
