Red Lantern Cheese Dip isn’t just any cheese dip. It’s a cheese dip that’s so delicious and so well-loved that it was forever memorialized on a cemetery headstone. You can find this recipe at the grave of Deb Nelson in Dow City, Iowa. Deb was known as the “quintessential neighborhood mom,” and was known in her community for doling out hot chocolate and popsicles to the neighborhood kids, for her award-winning homemade pickles, and for this dip, which she made large batches of when she worked at the Red Lantern Steakhouse.
