But,if crunchy, salty treats like potato chips are your preference, Then you owe a debt of gratitude to a cranky chef and a picky diner who lived over 150 years ago. On August 24,1853, Gerorge Crum was working as a chef in a restaurant when he became frustrated with a customer . The customer had repeatedly sent back hid French fries, complaining that they were too trick and soggy. Fed up, Crum decided to teach him a lesson. Crum sliced the potatoes as thinly as possible and fried them in grease. To crums’s astonishment, the customer thought the chips were delectable. They became a regular item on the restaurant’s menu and, in time, became a staple of the global fast food industy.
