Today was the 3rd Annual Kettle Chips party at TBG Boston, in conjunction with our weekly Grill FridayTM. Kettle is one of my favorite brands and are definitely my favorite chips. Each year they have a People’s Choice promotion which includes a sampling of chip flavors that fans vote on to decide which one becomes a mainstay. Since we are huge fans of lunch type foods here in Boston, I always buy a pack for the office so that we can have our own chip party.
Well this year Kettle changed it up a bit and left the flavor creation in the hands of their fans. Rather then sending us 5 potential new flavors they sent us small packs of unflavored chips plus an assortment of flavor packs. It was our job to mix the flavors together in order to concoct our dream chip. Barbarians love hands on activites so we all gathered round the lunch table as Grill Friday was being grilled. Here are the delightful creations and pictures of the fun that was had:

So which flavor was voted the overall winner and did the flavor packets look like ramen noodle seasonings? They all sound yummy, well almost all. The “Bad Boner” flavor just sounds like it would burn your tongue off. I am taking a wild guess, but I bet I would love the “Fat Ass Mac N Cheese” creation by Katrina. Seriously, how can a chip go wrong with cheese and onions?

I wish I could get some yummy Kettle chips and host my own Kettle Chip Party. I am just afraid my friends would create flavors that resembled Doug’s “Bad Boner” Kettle chips rather than the yummier sounding varieties.
cheesy onion was totally my favorite!!
