Daily News | Herr’s releases three new chip flavors inspired by Philly restaurants
Jose F. Moreno / Staff PhotographerEver craved a potato chip that tasted exactly like a roast pork sandwich? Well, you can stop dreaming.
The finalists include a John’s Roast Pork Sandwich flavor inspired by the South Philly shop’s signature sandwich. The Korean BBQ Wings flavor made to taste like the eats at the East Passyunk smokehouse is also a contender, as is the Tomato Pie flavor inspired by Corropolese Bakery in Norristown. “We wanted to pick flavors in Philadelphia that resonate with the heart of the city,” said Ed Herr, the chairman and CEO of the Chester County-based snack company.It was important for the contest to highlight small businesses, Herr said. After all, his father, Jim, started the company in 1946, selling chips door-to-door in Lancaster. The company, which now makes over 300 different products at its Nottingham factory, grew up in Philly, he said.
For his part, Michael Strauss, owner of Mike’s BBQ, said he received a call out of the blue from Herr’s in December. An anonymous customer had nominated his smoky, sweet wings.
