Come get a Hot Dip after the Polar Bear Plunge Dip

There’s nothing like piping hot Spinach Artichoke dip to warm you up on a cold winter’s day. And there’s nothing like Blue Ridge Bites and Brew’s house-made Spinach Artichoke dip, a fresh take on a comforting classic. Not only is this amazing appetizer made with the creamiest of cheeses and chock full of spinach and artichokes, but we’ve also added roasted herb mushrooms and spices in order to create what has become one of our most popular menu items. When spread on sliced baguette, nothing is better. So after a chilly afternoon, come enjoy something to warm you up and get you going for the rest of your day.

You haven’t had bread pudding until you’ve tried Wendy’s Bread and Caramel Pudding.  A Gamekeeper staple, it’s full of bourbon and well-made baguettes; laced with crumbled nut topping and chantilly cream.  Every morsel leaves you dreamy-eyed and soul satisfied.  Be sure to save room for this one!  But life is short.  Eat it as an appetizer!!
