�READ�REFLECT�REPEAT� NAME:
Where Did Potato Chips Come From?
Potato chips come in many different flavors and styles. Some are wavy.
Others are smooth. Some are big while others are broken into small pieces.
There are even some that come in a long tube. But no matter their size, shape,
or flavor, I bet you have your favorite!
So, where did these thin, crunchy, and crisp snack favorites really come
from? They actually started off as French fries! French fries were a favorite
food for many people, as they still are today. And for a chef by the name of
George Crum, it was something that he was really good at cooking.
One day, Chef Crum made a plate of French fries for a group of hungry
people dining at his restaurant. But one man didn’t like the way they were made.
He said that they were too thick. So he asked the waiter to take them back.
Chef Crum made a new plate of French fries, and this time they were
thinner. The man who ordered them still was not happy or content. He said that
they were still too thick and too soft. Once again, the waiter took them back.
Chef Crum was not happy that the man did not like his French fries.
Everyone else loved them! So Chef Crum decided that he was going to show this
man that he could make really thin slices of potatoes that were really hard and
crunchy. He was going to make sure that the man wouldn’t complain that they
were too thick or too soft.
Chef Crum sliced the potatoes as thin as he could and then fried them in
oil until they were very crunchy. He had the waiter take these to the man. Chef
Crum didn’t expect the man to like them, but he was wrong. The man loved them!
In fact, he enjoyed them so much that he let others around taste them. Soon,
everyone in the restaurant was asking for these newly made potatoes.! And this
was how potato chips were first created.
