TV personality and celebrity chef Eden Grinshpan was recently named the official Miss Vickie’s® Signatures Chip Sommelier, launching curated snack pairings featuring the brand's gourmet-inspired products. The Miss Vickie’s® Signatures collection is made up of three artisan kettle cooked potato flavors -- Black Truffle & Parmesan, Apple Cider Vinaigrette & Shallots and Hickory Smoked Salt.
"I have always had a special place in my heart for Miss Vickie’s®, so naturally I was beyond excited to discover Miss Vickie’s® Signatures kettle cooked potato chips. Not only are these flavors distinct, they are a delight to pair with fine meats and cheeses," said Eden Grinshpan about the partnership. The chef has created a curated charcuterie pairings list that can be accessed on the Miss Vickie’s® Signatures website along with short videos describing the recent flavors.
Targeting artisan snack fans, the Miss Vickie’s® Signatures Chip Sommelier partnership speaks to the snack brand's premium status, highlighting its products as elevated ingredients for those entertaining at home.
