Origin Story: The Lay’s Flavor Department decided that “gourmet” is a state of mind, specifically the mind of someone who believes a potato chip can successfully masquerade as a Caprese salad. Its a clever bit of branding that takes the familiar notes of a Mediterranean summer and packs them into a bag, proving that you don need a plane ticket to Tuscany when you have a sufficiently ambitious seasoning mix.
