We asked the people of Dayton to vote for their most crave-worthy chips. Here are the top three-winners:
WINNER: Mikesell's Potato Chip Co.
Around the same time Wilbur and Orville Wright were introducing the world to manned flight and Charles Kettering was working on the self-starting automobile ignition, Daniel W. Mikesell was trying to make his way in the business world. Eventually, he found potato chips, and if he didn’t exactly invent them, he had an early hand in perfecting one of the world’s snack food staples. The company has been making chips of all textures and flavors for more than 100 years, and still makes them in Dayton, at 333 Leo St.
