While Bobby cooked the crab cakes, I whipped up a quick dipping sauce. Following is what I used:

3/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
2 teaspoons fresh lemon
3 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
3 teaspoons Dijon Mustard

Mix all of these together in a small mixing bowl until combined and you have a nice creamy dipping sauce.
