Required Taste Podcast

Who was George Speck, better known as George Crum? On this week's episode of the Required Taste Podcast, we dig into the life of the man credited with creating one of the most addictive snacks on the planet — the potato chip. But his story goes way deeper than a crunchy accident. From identity, legacy, and innovation to the messy truth behind "who really invented what," we're breaking it all down.

If you love food history, hidden stories, and a little myth‑busting, this one's for you.

🎧 Listen now and let us know your favorite chip flavor.
