NOTTINGHAM, PA — Herr Foods Inc., a beloved Pennsylvania snack manufacturer, recently announced the return of its highly anticipated Flavored by Philly contest. Now in its third year, the contest gives fans of Herr’s chips the unique opportunity to create the next great chip flavor, inspired by their favorite Philadelphia area small food businesses.
Running through November 14, fans can submit their most innovative chip flavor ideas for a chance to win a grand prize of $5,000 and a year’s supply of Herr’s chips. But that’s not all – the small business behind the winning flavor will receive a $10,000 prize, a significant boost in these challenging times.
The Flavored by Philly contest has always been more than just a competition. It’s a celebration of the rich culinary heritage of Philadelphia and its surrounding areas. The contest acknowledges the small businesses that make the city’s food scene so vibrant and diverse. It’s also a nod to Herr’s own roots as a small family business that started in 1946 and has grown into a top chip brand in Philadelphia.
Once the contest closes on November 14, a panel of judges will review the flavor submissions and select three small business flavor finalists. These flavors will be unveiled in early summer 2024, giving fans the exciting opportunity to taste each one and vote for their favorite.
Last year’s contest showcased the depth and variety of Philadelphia’s food scene with finalists including Corropolese Italian Bakery & Deli’s Tomato Pie (Norristown), John’s Roast Pork’s Roast Pork Sandwich, and Mike’s BBQ’s Korean BBQ Wings. Each of these flavors captured the essence of Philly’s culinary landscape, making the final decision a tough one for fans.
The chairman and CEO of Herr’s, Ed Herr, expressed his excitement for the return of the contest, saying, “From our humble beginnings as a small family business in 1946 to becoming a top chip brand in Philadelphia, Herr’s has always been deeply rooted in this community. As we launch the third Flavored by Philly contest, we are proud to support and honor the local small food businesses that began the way our family’s company began.”
The Flavored by Philly contest is not just about creating a new chip flavor. It’s about fostering a sense of community and celebrating the unique flavors that make Philadelphia a food lover’s paradise. It’s also about supporting the small businesses that are so vital to the city’s economy and culinary identity.
