Review - Brother Kane Buffalo Wing Bleu Cheese Potato Chips

Brother Kane Buffalo Wing Bleu Cheese Potato Chips

With the mind-boggling glut of spicy-flavored and buffalo-style snacks offerings - both good and bad - here's yet another chip vying for the attention for junk food lovers and chileheads alike. Nothing jumps out at me when biting into Brother Kane Buffalo Wing Bleu Cheese Potato Chips yet a would still give this a thumbs up because of the smooth, cheesy flavor.

Ingredients:
Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed or Corn Oil), Salt, Maltodextrin, Whey, Sugar, Dextrose, Whey Protein Concentrate, Monosodium Glutamate, Vinegar Powder, Reduced Lactose Whey, Spices, Citric Acid, Sodium Acetate, Natural Flavors, Acetic Acid, Cheese (cultured milk, salt, enzymes), Canola Oil, Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, and annatio), Disodium Guanylate, Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, and Silicon Dioxide. Contains Whey Ingredients.

Aroma:
2.5 out of 5. Middle of the road, so it's not bad but not mouth-wateringly tempting either. Plain, with very little buffalo-type smell.

Brother Kane Buffalo Wing Bleu Cheese Potato Chips

Appearance and Texture:
2.5 out of 5. Ridged ("crinkle cut") chips with a very light coating of a pale orange seasoning.

Taste:
3.5 out of 5. I was pleasantly pleased with the flavor of Brother Kane Buffalo Wing Bleu Cheese Potato Chips. They approximated the taste of a nice - yet somewhat generic - buffalo sauce very well. It was partially cheesey, such as a cheddar and sour cream chip, and boasted an overall smooth quality. Easygoing, clean and almost creamy, you could munch on a large bowlful of these and not realize how many you've eaten. That having been said, it's still not something you'd rave about to friends and colleagues.

Heat:
0 out of 5. Okay, you want to get technical? The heat level maybe, if you're stretching it, could be a 0.25 if you're extremely sensitive to even the most minute amounts of spice. There's really no heat to these, just flavor.

Overall:
Another decent snack that's worth a try, but if you're craving explosive flavor or any measure of truly substantial heat, you'll be sorely disappointed.

You may have to do some searching if you reside in certain geographical areas. If you live in some regions, Brother Kane's products may be readily available at your local convenience store or vending machine. Other places around the U.S., you're probably S.O.L.. The Brother Kane website is ridiculously out of date (not to mention looks like it was designed in 1997) and doesn't even show chips - only peanuts - let alone no purchasing or distribution information.

Update 6/23/10: The Brother Kane website has gotten a fresh redesign and looks much better. Although still only Brother Kane's peanuts are available for purchase, you can contact them for distribution information.

I was at a hospital in the waiting room and went to vending machine that had the brother kane buffalo wing bleu cheese chips.
OH MY GOD the closest flavor to my favorite wing taste. While I was munching on this bag of chips another person in the waiting room just had one.
She also thought they were unreal they were so good.
But where can you find them besides here. I want large bags of these.

Your chips are about the best chips I have ever eaten. I wish we could get them in big bags in stores. Please let me know if they come out in big bags and where to get them in Mo.

I LOVE these chips and wish they came in a big bag. Anyone knew where I can get them in bulk? They are so good. Just enough heat to make them great!

I read on Brother Kane's website that the chips originated for the vending industry only, but the company is looking into going retail with larger bags. Hopefully SOON--can't wait. The flavors are GREAT!

I have tried two different Brother Kane Chips. You are insane if you don't market them in the big bags. I will sell them for you, just ship them to me and I will take them to the stores.

I have only found these in the vending machines at work, which means I am spending $3.00 a day. Where can I buy these in the large bags ?

Chileman

Wanda, do the small bags cost $3.00 in your vending machines? Sounds very pricey to me. I've seen them for 60 cents a bag.

Where in central Kentucky are your chips sold? I have not seen them at Kroger or Wal-Mart. Do they come in a bigger bad (for home) than the 2.25 oz I currently get at the Cheesery Deli in Frankfort, KY.?

I like the flavor of the chips, but they're too crunchy or hard, I guess, for my taste.
