What's Better than a Great Potato Chip?

Panera Bread Company's house brand chips are delicious. Extra, extra crispy with excellent taste. You get 'em free with a sandwich.
 
if you live close to s.e iowa, then sterzings is the one. they ship them all over the world. started that during the viet nam era. they cover part of Illinois and n.e. Missouri too. still owned by the family that started them in the 30's.
 
Chips... oh man once I start I cant stop.
You know those costco size bags of doritos? One of them and a litre of pepsi and its belly pain in front of the tv night .Again.:rolleyes:
 
There isn't much good about living in the Detroit area, with the exception of potato chips. The Better Made factory is still operating in the city. Better Made potato chips are, hands down, the best on the planet.
 
Hmmm, maybe if they made Bacon favor potato chips.....:p

I have to second that as they do make the best chips and we can get them here too. I especially like their hot BBQ chips as I like the heat.
I don't know how far from Detroit they distribute them but worth buying if you can get them.

In the early 80's, Frito-Lay made a potato chip called O'Gradys. It was a very thick cut chip. I loved them and wish they would remake them. My favorite flavor was Au Gratin. Anyone else like or even remember them?

I used to love the Au Gratin chips. More recently they made a "Loaded Baked Potato" flavor that was excellent, but like everything good these days seems to be, it was dropped.:mad:

I think Wise are the best. However when I lived in Indiand back in the dark ages (mid 60's) we got a brand there that beat Lays hands down and if I remember correctly it was Seyfert's. However Potato chips cannot trip my W-O-W trigger. A great Rib Eye med. well with A-1 is what does it for me.

I agree a rib eye is almost perfect, but why ruin it by smothering it with "steak sauce"?:confused:

Here in the most miserable city in America (or so they say) we are in potato chip heaven. We have two chip makers that beat the heck out of any other that I have tasted.

"Old Salty's" are terrific if you like a hearty chip. Crispy and crunchy, with a little heft to them.

"Mrs. Fisher's", a chip that has been around since before my time. I remember going to the plant where they were made, and you could get a brown paper bag of "crushed". They were the small pieces that fell through the grid when the chips were being salted. Two kids could ruin their supper for two cents! Fisher's are quite similar to Old Salty's, but just a hair thicker. But, if you liked Cape Cod Dark, you would go nuts for Fisher's Dark, sold only at the plant. Comparing them to the Cape Cod Dark is like comparing--well I don't know what, but they are delicious!

What about,"Jays" Remember them from IL.
 
I don't know if Pringles are actually a potato chip but I sure can't eat just one, unless they mean one tube full.

Your memory is just fine! I too remember Seyferts and they were great! I think they made them in Fort Wayne and if I'm not mistaken they survived into the 80s. I also remember anther brand called Chesty but Seyferts was king.

A true potato chip connoisseur will know about Charles' Chips. I used to be able to have them delivered by the Charles' guy to my house every week-a 1 lb tin, which would be swapped for a full one the next week, since I and my friends would empty it every weekend. Now, you can order them online and the price has gone UP. But, with free shipping and a full 1 lb tin, how can you go wrong. Try them, you'll love them.

I think my mom started my potato chip problem with Charles chips. She worked in the school cafeteria and when the Charles delivery guy came around she would sometimes buy a big tin from him. I didn't know you could still get them.
