So potato chips, I'm not sure that would taste good

Incorrect. I eat kettle chips with ketchup all the time. It’s just a really crunchy French fry

Potato Chips where made by a chef that despised french fries

u/LysankaIgunPro2 Jan 24 '23

Nope.

It was because a customer complained their potatoes were cut too thick.

As a mockery the Chef made them as thin as possible and the customer loved that

Really? Must remember wrong then thx for clearing it up

No.

This is essentially a folk-tale. We don’t actually know the exact origin of French fries. But there are a ton of restaurants that claim that exact story happened at their establishment. But there is zero proof for this. Maybe it happened, but we don’t know exactly when or where or the circumstances behind it.

So what you're saying is that it's free real estate for urban legends! I hope a couple of bizarre ones get invented, too.

Okay give it a go. If it’s a good one I’ll spread it. 😏

There is absolutely 0 proof to this story outside of 10 restaurants who claims to be the place that it happened.
