BBQ Baked Lays! Jones Salt and Vinegar! Ummm... I need to go to the store.
mrsmom I've tried Grippos BBQ! I had to pick some up for a student when I was in Cincy for a conference last spring. It was quite a trip trying to find them.
disneychrista - I have not heard of a lot of the brands mentioned since I do believe that a lot of chip brands are regional.
For example - my very favorite chips are Troyer Farms - plain. They are made near where I grew up and are probably just distributed in about a 200 mile radius of the plant. I am glad that I still live within that 200 mile radius.
My second favorite are Wise BBQ. Probably the original BBQ chip - and also the best IMO.
I'm not a big potato chip eater, but I can't resist Grandma Utz! Utz and Herr's are definitely a Pennsylvania thing. PA has lots of regional food producers who make great quality stuff. Turkey Hill Iced Tea for example. Mmmmmm....
Here in Pittsburgh we do have Herr's - but we don't usually have Utz. Don't usually see Utz anywhere in western PA, although I am thinking that we have seen them in Ohio and New York.
