For a taste of childhood in the South, look no further than the banana pudding at Mama Dip’s. “This is one of our most popular dishes,” says Annette Council, daughter of Mildred “Mama Dip” Council. “We grew up eating it.” And the sweet Southern treat has been on the menu since the restaurant opened 41 years ago. While some patrons like to order it with ice cream, Annette says, in her opinion, there’s no better way Mildred Council with her eight to eat it than warm. “You can’t go wrong with it,” she children, taken by Roland Giduz. says. What makes the dish so special is not so much the sum of its parts – the pudding, Nilla wafers and banana slices – but the love it was made with, the passion Mama Dip has for cooking. It was a special Sunday treat for Annette and her seven siblings, served after church. She pulled out an old photo taken by the late Chapel Hill photographer, journalist and editor Roland Giduz that depicts her and her siblings dressed in their Sunday best. “These are the people who ate the banana pudding, right there,” she says. Bowl of banana pudding, $3.95. –Laura Zolman Kirk CHM
