For many, Detroit is the crunch capital of the world. More than forty local chip companies once fed the Motor City's never-ending appetite for salty snacks, including New Era, Everkrisp, Krun-Chee, Mello Crisp, Wolverine and Vita-Boy. Only Better Made remains. From the start, the brand was known for light, crisp chips that were near to perfection. Discover how Better Made came to be, how its chips are made and how competition has shaped the industry into what it is today. Bite into the flavorful history of Michigan's most iconic chip as author Karen Dybis explores how Detroit "chipreneurs" rose from garage-based businesses to become snack food royalty.

Title: Another great mix of storytelling and images paints a vivid picture
Review: There was no question I was going to read this after how much I enjoyed The Ford-Wyoming Drive-In. I like Karen’s writing style very much. She wove together a detailed family history, fascinating industry and how the nation and Detroit was growing up around these chippers. I literally had to go get a bowl of chips while I was reading!
