This popular snack can be traced to George Crum (born George Speck), a 19th-century chef who made his name at Moon’s Lake House in the resort town of Saratoga Springs, New York. As the story goes, one day in 1853, Cornelius Vanderbilt (the railroad and shipping magnate) was eating at Moon’s when he ordered his fried potatoes be returned to the kitchen because they were too thick. Furious with such a fussy eater, Crum sliced some potatoes as slenderly as he could, fried them to a crisp and sent them out to Vanderbilt as a prank. Rather than take the gesture as an insult, Vanderbilt was overjoyed. Other patrons began asking for Crum’s ‘Saratoga Chips’, and their popularity spread. Americans consume about 1.85 billion pounds of potato chips annually, or around 6.6 pounds per person! Fat-free, gluten-free and calorie-free — these earrings are the perfect indulgence!
