All right

So, in this episode, Super Chef versus Supermarket

Okay

So, I'm giving you what you asked for

People ask for chips versus chips

Barbecue versus barbecue

We going iconic

Straight

I'm from the the inner city

Okay

So, this is the most iconic barbecue chip there is

We got Grios

today

I mean, it's going to be a tough one

So, we got versus battles

Grippos versus Sweet Heat barbecue and the regular OG barbecue from Lays

I mean, both of these versus Grippo

Let's see who can win

Let's take it back to the kitchen

Try them out

We're on our way.

[Music] All right

So, we are back in the kitchen

Like you can see, I can't even sit my seat because I'm so excited for this one

I know my whole my whole city where I'm from, you know, Columbus, Ohio, they standing up, you know, I'm from Louisville, too

They all standing

up right now because they see an OG on the table right now

So, this is one of our episodes. 2v1

We have two products versus one product

And why would I put two versus one? Because one product has been talked about in such a way that no one thinks any chip or any product can beat it

So let's see two prize

So

today we have Griffos standing alone standing at one foot tall

Uh and we have Lays

I went to Lays on y'all two times

We got Lays Barbecue and Lays Sweet Southern Heat barbecue

And the reason why I did both is because Grippo is a little unique

Grippo sometimes can be spicy.

You know what I'm saying? Like if you get the seasoning right at the bottom of the bag, Grippo is spicy

So, I didn't want to just go against the barbecue chip

I wanted a chip that has some heat, too

So, we can balance it out and really see if these can take down these grippos

Um, so let's get right into it.

Price-wise, both these bags are the same, I believe

I mean, they look the same

We going to say they're the same

We're not going to trip on that

Um, Lays, both bags, $3.99

Grios come in at $439

Um yeah, I mean I mean that's that adds up. 1 plus 1 equals two on the show

So

the price win goes to uh Lays

Uh Grippo is a little more expensive

And just so we know this Grippo before I get into this cuz I don't want people to think I run Grio here cuz I'm just a huge fan of it and I grew up with it and everyone I know eats it

Like let's let's let's call a spade a spade real quick

The

Grio is iconic

Iconic for giving you so little chips in these bags

That is Boy that the Grio

We got to have a conversation about that

We know you good

We know you taste good, but I mean you got to stop put all this air in these bags, please

Um, but let's get right one

Let's get straight into

taste, man

I don't like to take long

A lot of YouTube videos sometimes will give you the best part at the end

I like to give it to you at the beginning just in case you got something to do

At least you came at least you got what you came here for

So, I'm gonna out of respect since Ripo is by itself, I'm

going to try these two first

I'm gonna start with the regular barbecue Lays only because they don't have any that spice to them

And once I get spicy, it's kind of like I'm there already

I mean, good barbecue seasoning

So, almost looks like they're soaked in the

seasoning cuz you don't see a ton of seasoning on them

They just have a tint of orange to them, but it's a very light, airy, crispy chip

Um, the barbecue flavor is smooth

Um, it's not too aggressive like it's it's like it's always been

So, let's go into the southern sweet southern heat barbecue.

Let me see if I see any difference

First of all, it look a little more seasoned

That's the first

Um, [Music] definitely sweeter

Definitely more hickory

I don't know if this says hickory on here or not, but definitely have a hickory flavor to them

Wonder if

there's any hickory in here

No, but man, that barbecue, that smoky flavor these ones have are good

So, this one, the sweet heat is definitely got more of a hickory smoke flavor to it

Sweet sweeter as well

I don't know where they getting the heat from, but

but it is what it is

So, so everybody at home who's never had bad grippos, let me give you one onone how you eat a bag grippos cuz grippo is slick

Oh man, I got a lot to talk about with grippo

They can give me a call because the best way to eat grippos is

turn it back upside down

Eat it like this because all the seasons at the bottom of my bag

So if you flip it upside down now, you start the chips where you want to start the chips

You see what I'm saying? Like look at the bag. like all the seasoning is at the bottom.

So you want to flip it over for sure to get that seasoning

So you get them chips that got all that all that fires on them

So I'm going to show you a difference between Grippo and everybody else

These chips are heavenly seasoning

Uh they don't lack

any seasoning at all

They look totally different than those two do

This is almost like the bully just came to the fight

You know what I'm saying? These were um okay, but this one got his jewelry on, been working out in the gym

It's just ready for whatever

Look at the fingers, bro

Like, I mean,

this this is the fight's over

First round knockout, people

Winner winner chicken dinner

Like, it's not even a fight

Like, look at the chips

Like, that's not even the close

Like it's like you was ready for a fight you thought was going to be a little tougher than it is

You just can't compete with

this

It's spicy

It's sweet

It's got the nice crumble of like you can even see sugar like glistening off of it

Um this is the best barbecue chip that most people have ever had

Um, I'm sorry I had to get right to it, but tastewise, I mean, it's a dirty chip in a good way, though

Like, oh, very dirty chip

Um,

it's almost like the best burgers are usually greasy

You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what they are right here

This is the greasy filling cheese steak

This is Mr

Heroes

Uh, no disrespect to Mr

Heroes, so people love it, but this is Philadelphia Mr

Heroes everywhere

Um, so the one thing about

Grios, they're a little spicy and they'll get you if you ain't ready for them

So, winner of taste, first round knockout

Knock both of them out too. 2v1 goes to Grios

When it comes to nutrition, well, price won the price

They won by knockout

Now, let's go to nutrition.

I mean, 12% of your total value of fat going here, 10% here

When it comes to added sugars, 4% your daily value, 3% your daily value

They're almost just equal

They're giving up one point in each category

Like one's higher saturated fats 3%, this one has

5% in each serving

This one has 1.5 saturated fat

Like it's neck to neck

But when it comes down to numbers, this has less

So therefore, the winner in nutrition goes to Grippo

But it ain't like it's a draw

It really a draw when it comes to nutrition

Um, so that's pretty

simple

But when it comes to anything, you need barbecue chips for people get used to fried uh fish

Like they'll do half barbecue chips, half panko, this is a great chip to use for that because you don't have to add that much seasoning to the panko

Um, so when it comes to the winner of this 2v1,

two times on the Lays, one time on the Griffles, the winner and undisputed heavyweight barbecue champion of the world today, cuz somebody else may come out and knock it out, is I mean, Grios

And they're upside down because that's the way you're supposed

to eat the baggie from the hood

You say, you kind of know what you know

But Grio, you won

Um, if you've never had a bag, go get your back

Uh, ladies, you were not bad
