All around the country there are little chipperies that market out their chips but are usually limited to a confined area.

Perfect example, Zapp's. I love Zapp's. When I moved to Florida, I couldn't get them and had the regular selection, Lays, Ruffles, Tom's, etc.....

What are your favorite ones?

When I was a little kid, my mom and dad would take my sister and me up to Pennsylvania (my parents are from there but I was born in La.). My mom's grandfather had a cabin on the shores of a lake in Pennsylvania, near Scranton.

It was the first time I had ever tasted Gibbles chips and to this day, I'd say their my favorite. The Gibbles chips and the Grandma Utz chips are fried in lard. I know, I know, it's so bad for you but damn, those chips make you wanna slap someone. They're that good.



A very, very close second is Utz chips.







Zapp's in third.


What are yours?

Those are good!

The utz chips in Pennsylvania had the regular Utz chips but they also had "Grandma Utz's" chips, they were very similar to Zapp's and Cape Cod.

Thing I liked about Gibbles and the Grandma Utz chips is that they're cooked in lard. No, I'm not lying.

I know it's so bad for you but the taste makes you wanna slap someone.

Fresh Market store brand kettle chips. I don't usually eat a bunch of chips, but I've kind of been on a kettle chip kick the last year. Zapp's are really greasy IMO, and also seem to have a lot of overcooked chips in the bag. Cape Cod are ok, but I've found the FM ones to be my favorite.

Those salt and pepper chips are really good, I really like Bugles a lot and the sour cream and cheddar ruffles, but I have to say, they may be simple but for me the best chips are still just plain lays,

No chip is better than the plain lays fresh right after you open the bag.

That wouldn't be potato...

I've been digging the Lay's kettle chips lately.

Typically though just original Zapp's.
