Southern biscuits and gravy. 

West Coast truffle fries.

New York Reubens. 

Greek gyros.

These are all sacred touchstones of American cuisine, representing the diverse cultural breadth of the US and its people. 

They're also chip flavors.

Frito Lay hosted its third "Do Us a Flavor" contest, in which people submit flavor ideas and the public votes on a winner.

On Wednesday, the company announced a winner — Southern biscuits and gravy.

We were curious to see for ourselves how the flavors stack up.

Here are our contenders, lined up and ready to try.



First up, Greektown Gyro. We were already skeptical of this flavor because of the name. When we opened the bag, an odd aroma of meat came out.



The first blast of flavor tastes exactly like gyro meat, which is a bit unsettling. We would describe this flavor as mysteriously meaty, with a hint of sour cream and onion. This is the only chip flavor contender that is kettle cooked — giving this meaty flavor chip a crunchy kick.
