Acquired Tastes: The Onion Dispatch

I love chips. I am awlays hitting specialty food stores to find chips that are not sold in mass market or chips that are different then your average ones. I found I really liked the flavor & texture of kettle cooked. Not sure if you have these 2 brands, they are sooo good.

Cool! I'll try to look around for them. Texture is very important for me, and kettle cooked is yummy. Thanks! :-)
