The potato chip—that salty snack we’ve all spent many a couchbound day munching—was supposedly born right here in New York State (Saratoga Springs, to be exact). The 19th-century creation—attributed to George Crum of Moon’s Lake House—eventually spread beyond chef-cooked fare to become a by-the-bag snacktime favorite, but now chips (potato and otherwise) are going back to their restaurant roots, popping up in brand-new kitchens around NYC. These days, you can find Dorito-covered carbonara in Bushwick, a whimsical number by Wylie Dufresne and a finespun take from Eleven Madison Park alums.
