In The Chips with Barry

This week on, Can It Sandwich? I put our contestants through the paces. Lay’s Three Cheese Layers potato thingys, Calbee Giza Giza Yuzu Kaoru Shichimi potato chips, and Covered Bride Storm potato chips (essentially a deconstructed All Dressed)

Much like the Covered Bridge The Weekender potato chips, these Storm Chips are a combo of four distinct flavors - Smokin’ Sweet BBQ, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Homestyle Ketchup, and Creamy Dill. And if you’re thinking, “wait a sec, aren’t those the flavors of All Dressed?” Pretty much, yeah. But instead it all being in one flavor, its more of a grab bag where in you might get a fistful of All Dressed flavor or another combination. These were sent to me by Brtittannie who is celebrating 6 years of being together with her now fiancé Scott. Congratulation, you two! Cheers!

So, I bought these chips because of the picture on the bag. But what I thought was togorashi, a Japanese five spice blend, turned out to be Yuzu Kaoru Shichimi, a Japanese seven spice blend that also uses dried Yuzu (citrus) peel. I also learned that “Giza Giza” means jagged. As in this ridged. I love to learn! Anyway, this potato chips flavor sounds interesting so let’s stop with the readin’ and get to the tastin’.

These engineered (the first ingredient is dried potatoes) Three Cheese potato snacks from Lay’s look a lot, and I mean a lot, like Turtle Chips out of South Korea. I’m not saying they’re identical, but boy howdy they are close. Anyway, these are supposed to have cheddar, parmesan, and gouda cheese flavor to ‘em. Let’s see if they nailed that, shall we?

Yes, we’re back with another Can It Sandwich? and this time we’re seeing if two of the chips can be redeemed. Both Pringles Rotisserie Chicken and Calbee Super Potato Sour Cream and Onion really kind of faltered in the individual round. Will they sandwich well? Who knows. One thing I do know is that the Torres Select Smoked Hot Paprika will absolutely sandwich.

Ya know, with all the paprika flavored potato chips on the market I've long wondered why there weren't any Smoked Paprika flavored chips? Well, Tores Selecta must've thought the same thing. ¡Gracias!

Yeah, I got a little exited when I saw the words SUPER POTATO written in huge text on the bag. I mean, who wouldn’t? And while the flavor of Sour Cream and Onion feels overdone, the bag also had what looked like a roasted onion. So, how could I not buy em?

Sure, Pringles doesn’t have the best track record with flavorings. At least not here in the United States. Still, rotisserie chicken seems like a flavor they should be able to nail. Should, however, is not the same will.

Chips Oman Chilli potato sticks, Megachips Yoghurt and Herbs potato chips, and, of course, LeBron James featured Ruffles Flamin’ Hot Cheddar and Sour Cream. Should make for some tasty sandwiches. Let’s find out.

The big question, given that LeBron James is endorsing these chips, is will the flavor be a slam dunk? Come on, you know I had to make that joke right? Still, cheddar and sour cream is tasty combo and if they’re actually “flamin’ hot” this could be awesome.
