SAnParis was it Charles Chips?

They used to do a home delivery like the Schwann's man or maybe they did come through Schwanns.

They were awesome when first delivered. For home use it was too many chips though. They'd lose quality as the tin aged a couple of weeks.

mm- I love Market Basket chips - its the only thing I like about the store! There is a local manufacturer in Lynn Mass whose name escapes me (Bob's Bill's, Tom's??) They sell them by the bucket in a white plastic bucket with blue printing. I'm guessing that they are the manufacturers of the Market Basket chips.

I also love Wise chips - but only the onion and garlic ones, the rest are too dark for me. They taste burnt.

Charles Chips! Thanks for the flashback indytravel! :)

I'm from South Louisiana so I admit I'm partial to Zapp's. Crawtator and mesquite bbq are my favorite flavors.

I remember very fondly those Maui Kitch'n Cook'd chips - the skinny little clear bags with the red lettering - I agree, they're the best.

When I was a kid, anyone going to Maui had to bring back the chips - but you hardly see them anymore. So now we make do with people bringing back mochi and manju from Maui - (but I'd prefer the chips).

However, even if you do find them, they are SO expensive. For my day to day Maui chip craving, the "Maui Style" ones will have to do.

chepar - we used to open up the bag and grind fresh ground pepper on them, close the bag and shake it. People used to look at us like we were crazy...but if you've ever put fresh ground pepper on your baked potato, you'll recognize how yummy these chips were.

Acrylamides in potato chips?

DANGER!

VIOLATION of PROP 65

Love love love Wise chips. And the burnt flavor is what I love the most about them.

No one eats potato chips to get healthy.

Best in my memory: Schuler's, in New England -- they came close in flavor to Cape Cod or kettle chips, long before chips were anything but a necessary garnish to hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, or FRIED CLAMS! ;-)

Are Schuler's, by any remote chance, still around? Or were they bought up by someone and turned into run-of-the-mill chips (agree about Wise, for example)?

Woops! Simul-post!

Meant to say gree with bennie about Wise regular chips tasting burnt (zootsi and Sharon can have mine, if I can have their parsley).

when in Hawaii, try the One-Ton chips-made from won-ton wrppers deep fried. ONO!

Utz! Didn't know about Grandma's Utz though.
I buy Utz because the 3 ingredients, potatoes, oil and salt are exactly what's required.

"buy Utz because the 3 ingredients, potatoes, oil and salt are exactly what's required."
That is good, but try Grandma Utz which substitutes the lard for the oil. Totally different flavor.
I am so surprised at the number of people who are familiar with my beloved Middleswarth chips.

Count me as another Maui Maui Kitch'n Cook'd fan. When I was a kid, my classmate (who is RELATED to the owner!) used to bring back single-serve bags for the entire class whenever she went to Maui. What a treat! Oh, how I took those days for granted.

Another vote for Route 11 Potato Chips made in Middletown, VA (Shenandoah Valley), south of Winchester, VA!

What!! Are all you guys on some sort of an ego trip or what?! http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34684141 LOL

I was so surprised to see the chips we adored, (but thought it was just us) on other's lists as well: Cape Cod potato chips. We found them first in VT. Somehow the ones we are now able to buy in Texas don't taste quite the same--still good, but not "to die for". Maybe it was a matter of absence making the heart grow fonder?

If you like Cape Cod style kettle chips, there's one and only one true winner of this contest and it is V E G A S C H I P S ! Oh boy! Let me tell you, the salt and vinegar variety is for die-hard vinegar fans ONLY. I highly recommend the SALT & PEPPER version, the best chip I've found anywhere. ANYWHERE! Okay, I will leave some blank space below where all you chip-a-holics can thank me for introducing you to Vegas Chips!!!

LOL OO I had the exact same thought when I read that other thread!

Now about potato chips, oh sigh, I try not to buy them because when I open the bag....well you know the story....I don't stop eating until the bag is empty. That is not a good thing. But a lot of potato chips mentioned here I have never seen in stores where I live.

Hmmm, that could be a travel related theme. Take a trip around the US to find all the best potato chips. You think?

I have to say that growing up part of my life on the east coast, I fell in love with Wise Potato chips. On the west coast, I have found a few places that actually stock them. I know I shouldn't eat them, but its a piece of heaven. The next best I've found are in Maui, but they don't travel well. You have to eat them there.

Definitely love those Maui Kitch'n Cook'd chips. From the supermarket I am partial to Tim's Potato Chips, I believe from the Pacific Northwest, Seattle maybe? It's close to pau hana time now, this is making me crave a cold brew and some pupus.

<i>&quot;...they don't travel well. You have to eat them there.&quot;</i>

Well! I think that may just add to the magic of the Kitch'n Cook'd chips! They taste great on their own, but I bet they taste extra good while drinking, say, a Kona Pale Ale and watching the sun set over the Pacific....
