The World's Best Potato Chip

When I was a kid in Brussels, one of my favorite foods was barbeque potato chips. Little did I realize at the time that the local chips represented perfection of the potato chip maker's art — later on I gradually lost my taste for barbeque potato chips and even sort of forgot why I'd enjoyed them so much in the first place. Other kinds of chips are OK, but for savory snacks I generally prefer popcorn or corn chips. Recently, however, on the shelves at the local Whole Foods I noticed a new product from Kettle chips, their "Backyard Barbeque" flavor, so out of curiosity I tried some. WOW! These chips are astoundingly delicious, perhaps even better than the wonderful chips I remembered. A perfect balance of spice, sweet, and heat. Like most Kettle chips they're cooked well done, which in this case is exactly right because the potato stands up to the spice. I have to be careful now, because I'll be buying two and three bags at a time... Highly recommended!
