Excerpt
"New York state is where the potato chip is alleged to have been invented. In 1853, a short order cook named George Crum, an American Indian, plotted revenge on a customer who complained about Crum's thick-fried potatoes. In defiance he prepared some superthin slices of potato, deep-fried them and the rest is history! Today potato chips are an industry yielding 3 billion dollars a year in the USA."
