Would You Try Chicago Hot Dog–Flavored Chips?
Local Style Chips is a homegrown snack that pays homage to classic Chicago foods, such as Italian beef, deep-dish pizza, and the Chicago hot dog. Earlier this year, host Jacoby Cochran and producer Michelle Navarro tested the potato chips when they started to hit Chicago shelves to find out if they’re any good. They talked to Local Style founder Laura Gardner to learn why she thinks Chicago should take over the snack aisle.
