It’s been a while since we did a Yay Or Nay, but these babies, encountered in line for a sammich at Palm Market today, are firing on so many cylinders that we had to table whatever we were doing for a few moments, just to consider them. Around the shell of Lousiana’s beloved Zapp’s Potato Chips are two veneers: A “spicy creole tomato” dust/flavor, and around that, some good ol’ fashioned TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce to make it all pop. Hot damn. And guess what? They had it all: The Zapp’s chip was just the right thickness, kinda crunchy and very “live,” and that seasoning combo was a heavenly BBQ-type flavor that was just not to be denied, even as the heat slightly rose. Would we eat these every day? Hell no (or at least we’d deny it to our primary care provider). But when we do, does it feel great just to be alive? Sure does. Zapp’s Limited-Edition Spicy Creole Tomato Potato Chips, we are happy to have known ya.
Final Judgement: YAY.
You can find these pretty regularly in the old city market at market and 2nd, as well as lake blue on 3rd st in old city.
you can also get their “alligator” chips, which are dill flavored and pretty damn good as well.
These are by far one of my favorite chips, but they are not a limited edition in any way. I’ve been buying them regularly for three years now at Bierkraft in Brooklyn.
yay!
