Glenny's American Fries, Ketchup Flavor

Herr's makes a potato chip that claims to use real Heinz ketchup in the flavoring, making it an all-Pennsylvania product, I guess. While it doesn't taste horrible, the bag sure did seem to last a long time, if you know what I mean. Glenny's American Fries sounds awful, though.

Although, this stuff might go well on Soylent Green. Worth a try.

Did Leah Chase Do the Right Thing? Cast Your Vote Here!

As angry as I am at the Bush Administration at their ongoing failure to help the people (as opposed to the businesses) of New Orleans, I believe that Ms. Chase did the right thing here. She is not a politician, she runs a business, a restaurant that offers fine dining to all. To expect her to endanger the future of her establishment to make a political statement is unfair. What would be appropriate, however, would be for others to point out the irony of the Bush visit, with Ms. Chase in her trailer, tens of thousands of New Orleans residents displaced from their homes, and violent crime ubchecked in the streets of the city. Ms. Chase's graciousness in the face of these realities should be commended, not condemned.

I feel so cheap and dirty after looking at the pictures. Hungry, too.

Where's everybody from?

Western North Carolina, after 48 years in New York. No lookin' back, either. We have a Fresh Market store here, the same chain where you've seen the Top Chef contestants shopping, so I didn't feel completely cut-off from high-quality foods. And there's a Whole Foods clone called Earth Fare nearby.

Walking into the Grocery..wanting a cheap bottle of wine...

I've always liked Chateau Greysac, a Medoc Bordeaux that goes well with beef or pork without overpowering it. It's a blend, so it's not too complicated, so it's not likely to run away with the meal. Under $20.

What a disappointment! Can someone let me know when there's a good ketchup-flavored junk food product available in the midwest? I loved the ketchup chips I had in Canada and haven't found anything similar at home.

@ronfrankl: Ooh, it was awful. I actually like ketchup-flavored chips! But ketchup flavored cardboard-like substance, less so.
