"Philadelphians are passionate about three things — their sports teams, their community, and good food," Herr's CEO Ed Herr said in a news release.
Mike Quick, a former NFL wide receiver and current color analyst on Eagles radio broadcasts, and Star Fusion’s celebrity chef Darlene Jones will help Herr judge submissions before narrowing them down to three. Fans will then be able to taste and vote for their favorite flavor of chips.
“With the launch of our Flavored by Philly chips, we are giving our fans the opportunity to blend Philadelphia-inspired flavors with their favorite hometown chip, and also share in our legacy to give back to the local community,” Herr said.
