It's backyard barbecue season, and no cookout feels complete without a big bag of chips. And if you like your summer snacks to be locally-sourced, you're in luck. Pennsylvania is actually considered the potato chip capital of the world! How did we earn this distinction, and which PA-made chips are the best?
