The potato chip became both a national and international sensation when a customer sitting in a restaurant called Moon’s Lake House located in Saratoga Spring, New York. Complained about his french fried potatoes being too thick and sent them back to the kitchen for redoing. The Chef working in the kitchen at that time was George Crum who thought the customer french fried potatoes was cooked perfectly out of spike shaved them paper thinner and sent them back to be served to the complaining customer. The once displeasing customer and his attending parties of associates dining at the restaurant, loved them, which was the beginning of what we call the potato chip. Manufacturing Software

Chef Crum soon opened his own restaurant and due to the overwhelmed host of folks wanting to eat at his restaurant Chef Crum had to establish a policy for not taking any reservations.

    In the beginning of his writing, Schlosser writes about the history of the fries. He begins with introducing a prominent potato supplier in the country, J.R.

Having had so many potato farms and food processing factories, the farsighted entrepreneur invested heavily in frozen food technology and hoped to commercialize a low cost frozen fry that tasted the same as the fresh one. Initially the sales of the fries were low, because the preparing work to cook the fries was not convenient for housewives.

    Popchips is a brand of potato chips that are unique and claimed to be a lot healthier (and tastier) than the ordinary leading brands of potato chips. Contrary to the usual potato chips that are out there, Popchips use the method of “popping” their potatoes rather than baking them or frying them – which the other brands usually do to their products. Popchips believe that by using the method of popping their chips can make Popchips’ chips healthier because it contains less fat than if we fried them, and it also retain more flavors because the chips are not being baked. The texture of Popchips itself is also thicker compared to other leading chips out there, and the texture is also different and unique. According to John Myers; an author for Yahoo Network, Popchips have a taste of more like potato sticks compared to a potato chips, and he intended it as a compliment.

    The Chef who is the main suspect in the story Restaurant Roulette would be Gianni Girodano. I believe Gianni is responsible because he was using the blue dishes to prepare lasagnas in.
