Fresh Potato Chips

I'm not sure how recent of a trend this is, but just over the weekend I noticed three different grocery stores selling fresh made potato chips in the deli section. While I did not try them, Michaels in Naperville allows you to specify the finished flavor. The ones I tried were from Inboden's Meat Market in Dekalb and were quite good; thick cut and tannish brown, definitely not golden they were well salted and tasted of potato and fresh oil. The other place I spotted fresh fried chips was at Schnucks grocery store in Dekalb, which is a grocery chain out of St. Louis.

Has anyone else noticed fresh fried chips at grocery store deli counters or have any favorites to recommend?

I did not know that Schnuck's had a DeKalb outlet. Sounds like time for a roadtrip. (For the record, they also own Logli's in Rockford and Janesville.

Schnucks was pretty nice, though I don't think it's a destination store like Inbodens Meats. I was surprised to find some nice country ham steaks and half shank portions from Burger's Smokehouse. Schnucks also had some really cheap house brand smoked turkey legs for like $1.60 for 2. I also spotted a nice collection of various salts (pink, black, grey) at one end of the deli counter and they had a surprisingly good selection of citrus including blood oranges and some odd looking greenish yellow grapefruit whose name begins with an O.

Kroger has started selling them here in Indiana- and you know what? they're pretty darn good. total taste of potato and salt, with no additive flavor at all.
