cape cod chips are foul
The way they acted towards the folded and 'burnt' chips tells me these are anything but Potato Chip experts…
The two best chips in the bag.
HERRS AND UTZ RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE COMONWEALTH OF PA
No Boulder Canyon? No Deep River? No Ruffles??????
The person spilling a bunch of chips when they pour the bag into the big bowl…. nice ragebait!
That’s the first time I’ve heard a Pringle referred to as an Orwellian nightmare. If it’s an Orwellian nightmare it’s a delicious one.
Trader Joe’s never fails to disappoint
If you have gauges , you lost credibility.
"for me, the perfect potato chip had to be crispy." As opposed to soggy potato chips?
The paint bucket full of chips and the Vandy's price points are DISGUSTINGLY high. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Trader Joe's products are always horrible in these Chef reviews 😂
"Bet, fam. You know, chat. Smash it down in the comments below." Dude is funny 😂
I've seen like 5 diff thumbnails for this video in less than a day wtf.
when bro said the little girl says “eat me eat me” i almost spit my drink out
It’s a talking Q-Tip
Miss Vickies…I still love you!
omg we get it you hate kettle cooked…how is he an expert and hates half the products
feels like a lays commercial. their chips are the most bland consistent boring greasy stuff. wtf do these experts choose
Disappoint lung that they had no coconut oil organic chips. And that they chose lays, the blandest greasiest stuff.
The Hawaiian chips are great. My mom's favorite
Why are these so expensive in the US?
no better-maid? shame
Love a folded chip!
10:47 Want some Chips???😌
No Crunchers? Come on, my favorite wasn't included, not fair…
She’s fine.
this is my superbowl
Kitchen Cook chips used to be amazing and the pride of Central IL. When Utz bought them, they changed them. They were so bad at first that they couldn’t sell them. They changed it again to get it closer but they are still a shell of themselves.
i stopped watching at 'so, for me, the perfect potato chip has to be crispy' lol. duh.
How could you not include Charles Chips? They've been making what I think are the best chips for 84 years.
White dude saying “potatuh” is nails on a chalkboard
My favorite is Middleswarth!!! The best. Lays is greasy for me.
How can you do a Potato Chip video and not include Tim's Cascade Style Potato Chips?!
chefs lifting up tattoo artistry
Great trio here. They brought knowledge. They showed their personalities. Enjoyed this group. Bring them back.
Tim’s didnt get invited to the party because they’d dog walk the lineup.
Siete as a brand I think has so much promise if they can just figure out how to put some FLAVOR into their products.
Martin’s
Trying to figure out how I can bring up potato chip terroir in my next conversation…
Pours bag of chips and more than half looked crumbled.
$5.29
?
I love the Dark Russets, but i like bitter flavors overall. Never tried the trader joes burnt ones before. I do like the TJ's salt and pepper ridge chips though. The Utz Dark Russets are my favorites. Otherwise, Cape code and Zapps are great.
Why not the Aldi brand?
Growing up in northern Indiana we had regional brands… Seyferts (Ft Wayne), Jays (Chicago), but my all time favorite was Mike Sells (Dayton) fried in peanut oil. Regional brands ( just as with beer) are being gobbled up by the national brands.
