In the summer of 1853, George Crum worked as a chef at theelegant Moon Lake lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York. One ofhis specialties was thick-cut French fries that were eaten with afork.

One day, a customer complained that Crum's French fries weretoo thick. Crum made a thinner batch, but the customer stillthought they were too thick. frustrated, Crum decided to makeanother batch so thin that they couldn't be eaten with a fork.

Although he didn't intend to please the customer with thesepaper-thin potato crisps, the customer loved them!
