The Queso Connection
A tortilla chip is not the only vehicle on this road. I’m a longtime pork-rind-as-dipping-vessel evangelist, and Char makes the case beautifully with white cheddar-Gruyère and comeback sauce.

WHAT TO ORDER
The queso briefing
Crispy pork rinds served with white cheddar-Gruyère cheese sauce and comeback sauce
Queso-Adjacent
