Today ( March 14 ) is
National Potato Chip Day ...
Thanks to Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt's
insistence that his potatoes be sliced just so ..
the potato chip was born in a restaurant kitchen
in Saratoga Springs, New York back in 1853...
the annoyed chef had no idea he was
creating a snack that would become so
universally appealing and
America's favorite snack food.
