The History of the Flavored Potato Chip: Invented in 1853 by Native American George Crum, the potato chip is perhaps America's greatest gift to the world. And when it comes to chips, America has long been the global leader in taste innovation introducing the world to classic chip flavors such as Honey BBQ, Ranch and Nacho Cheese. Sadly, however, like the decline of Ford and GM in the global auto industry, the age of American dominance in the potato chip world has has come to an end. Chip experts had seen the writing on the wall for a long time as American chip companies in the 1980s grew complacent with flavors such as sour cream and onion and salt and vinegar while countries like Japan (seaweed) Mexico (cheesy jalapeno gordita) and England (prawn cocktail) pushed the limits of taste ingenuity and leapfrogged America as leaders at the forefront of the global taste innovation curve. Indeed, over the last 25 years these countries have taken potato chip flavors to places George Crum could never have dreamed of. So today, I bid you farewell, American chip dominance. You had a great artificially flavored and MSG infused run, but the torch has clearly been passed.
Pork Burger Deliciousness! (Thailand)
Pork burger. Oh joy!!!!
Beer Chips! (USA)
GENIUS!!!!!!!
There are few things more delicious than thinly sliced deep fried potatoes lightly salted and seasoned with MSG. That is of course unless you infuse artificially flavored beer, nacho cheese, BBQ sauce or ranch dressing into the mix.
Goose Island Beer Company

For real beer, head to this microbrew in Chicago and order a Honkers 312. bring a bag of beer chips with you for extra beer-y goodness.

Seaweed??? (Indonesia)
I hope it comes with an endomame appetizer.
Whoa!!! These Chips are EXTREME, dude!
It appears as though Doritos has hired the marketing douchebags from Axe Body Spray to do their packaging.
The exciting part about the “Quest” is you never know what you’re going to get when you stick your hand in the bag. It could be a potato chip or it could be a stick of deodorant. Either way, it’s best washed down with some type of equally EXTREME energy drink
The Bloomin Onion (USA)
Cheesy Fry, Honey Mustard and Bloomin Onion: They’re like the Three Amigos of the chip world.
Roasted Chicken (France)
Leave it to the French. MMMM….tastes like chicken

Bacino's of Lincoln Park
2204 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
For real pizza, try Bacino’s. They’re slogan, “we’re even better than a bag of Doritos” holds true every time.
Simply put, Bacino’s is the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. Try the Spinach Supreme.

Ketchup and Fries (Canada)
Ketchup and Fries I get. This age old combo is awesome in real life and sounds like it would be pretty awesome in chip form.
But I’ll tell you one thing…I’m not buying this “have it your way” crap.
I’m 99.9% positive that when you open up the bag you’re gonna be eating it the exact way it came packaged from the factory.

I know you already think I’m a total weirdo for not liking certain things (watermelon, bacon), but I’m also not a huge potato chip fan. I KNOW! I prefer non-potato chips, corn-based ones like Sun Ships, tortilla etc.
