The Miss Vickie's cacio e pepe flavoured chips are part of the chip maker's restaurant line.
The first bite hits with the sharp tang of cheese, possibly parmesan. The next, freshly ground pepper with smoky undertones. Starchy, salty and rich, the combination brings to mind a sophisticated mac and cheese.
But this wasn’t pasta. It was a potato chip – Miss Vickie’s new take on the Italian classic cacio e pepe, inspired by Vancouver’s Michelin-recommended Ask for Luigi. And it’s just one of three flavours in the brand’s new Ristoranti series, including Vodka Sauce Pizza, courtesy of Toronto’s cult-favourite Pizzeria Badiali, and Spicy Pepperoncini & Focaccia, a nod to Montreal’s popular neighbourhood eatery Nora Gray.
