You might think that no matter how “fresh” vegetable sticks may be, they can’t be that exciting. Well, think again. The key here is the warm anchovy cream dip. This is not the thick creamy dip that you are used to seeing, but a thin soupy sauce that is so addictive that once you run out of vegetables, you’ll continue to soak it up with bread or whatever else you can find around you to consume. The vegetables served are also more interesting that the run-of-the-mill carrot and celery sticks, with okra, endive, asparagus, radish, and radicchio as part of the mix. (Selection of vegetables may vary depending on seasonal availability.)
