Since 1985 Zapp's is the only kettle cooked
chip with the Cajun crunch that packs all the flavor of Louisiana. It all
started when Ron Zappe's oil-field-equipment business was sliding downhill
along with the rest of Louisiana's oil-based economy. His wife, Anne, brought
home a bag of kettle-fried potato chips.
One bite and he fell in love. Ron had never
tasted chips as thick and crunchy. Ron got the idea that would later strike
gold. His concept was to create his own brand of kettle-fried chips. He also
thought that if this chip had a spicy kick, it would appeal to taste buds of
Louisiana. A quick study, Ron learned the secrets of developing a sound
chippery and began developing his own unique brand of spicy mixes like Zapp's
Cajun Craw-tators, along with more conventional chips.
Now, years later we are proud to have brought
the flavors of Louisiana to so many people. Even with Ron Zappe's recent
untimely passing, we honor his legacy and tradition by being the most uncommon
chippery that creates the best flavors and curiously unique products.
