As far as Dinosaur patrons are concerned, anything with goat cheese is kinda suspicious. Add some asparagus and you’re tippin’ the highbrow scale—hence the name of this dish. Many have discovered the tangy difference goat cheese makes when matched up with our Mutha Sauce.

Cooks' Note

If only thick asparagus spears are available, buy 10, cook them, and then cut each spear in half lengthwise.
