George Crum, head chef at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York invented this tasty snack in 1853.
Potato chips. A customer at the restaurant sent his French fries back to the kitchen complaining they were too thick and too soft. To spite the complainer, Crum cut some potatoes very thin then fried and salted them. He sent them to the table of the complaining customer and they were an instant hit.
