Is it worth the hype?: Now you can get topping in your favorite chips in Aalborg

Yes, you read that correctly. Chips with toppings!

The new food trend has already taken large parts of the USA by storm, and now you can finally try the concept yourself at Din Pitabar in Vestbyen.

We couldn’t get there fast enough.

If this sounds like a concept you absolutely can’t miss, you can stop by starting tomorrow, February 20th, to try it out.

Bring your own chips

The concept is very simple. You bring a bag of your favorite chips, which you hand over to the skilled staff at Din Pitabar. If the craving hits while you’re in the shop, you can also purchase chips from their selection.

They give the chip bag a few taps to crush the chips a bit. After that, you can choose exactly the topping you like best. At Din Pitabar, they offer the same selection of toppings you know from their bowls.

This includes fajita chicken and their shawarma – which is pure flank cooked in oil. If you prefer a meat-free option, you can also get falafel on your chips.

In addition, it’s all-you-can-eat at the salad bar, where you can also choose from several types of cheese, salad, pickled red onions, and all sorts of other goodies.

We each brought a bag of our favorite chips – namely Snackchips and Doritos.

We chose to top them with Fajita chicken and Shawarma, respectively – and of course, a generous amount of dressing and chili for those who can handle it.

Everything was naturally assembled and served in the chip bag, which you get handed in one hand, and a fork in the other.

Is it worth the hype?

We found a spot in the winter sun and dug into the stuffed chip bags.

And one thing is for sure: it tastes exactly as you imagine. The “messiness” factor is off the charts, and it tastes delicious. Think kebab mix but with extra crunch.

We quickly agreed that it would be perfect for the day after, when you wake up craving both chips and dressing.

If we were to give a tip for improvement, we would suggest some melted cheese to make it more like nachos. That would be genius.

And although the chip bag may be more of a gimmick than practical, it actually allows you to eat it on the go. WIN-WIN.

You can find Din Pita Bar & Din Vitamin Bar at Kastetvej 51, and if your shawarma cravings hit early, they luckily open at 9 AM.
