UPDATE: Voting in this round is now closed, but come back on Monday, April 7 to vote in the FINAL ROUND!

March Madness is down to the Final Four and, more importantly, so is the Sporked Regional ChampionCHIP! We tabulated almost 1,400 votes (JK, Google did the tabulating) and four regions are still in the running to be declared THE chip capital of the U.S. Our apologies to Team West Coast, Team Northwest, Team Northeast, and Team Mountain—we hardly knew ye! Here’s where the contest lies:

TEAM MID-ATLANTIC vs. TEAM SOUTHEAST and SOUTHWEST & TEXAS vs. MIDWEST

ICYMI, these are the brands repping the remaining regions:

TEAM MID-ATLANTIC: Herr’s (Pennsylvania), Route 11 (Virginia), and Middleswarth (Pennsylvania)

TEAM SOUTHEAST: Golden Flake (Alabama), Carolina Kettle (North Carolina), and Zapp’s (Louisiana)

TEAM SOUTHWEST & TEXAS: Julio’s (Texas), Siete (Texas), and New Mexico Quality Hot & Spicy Red Chile Chips

TEAM MIDWEST: Old Dutch (Minnesota), Old Vienna (Missouri), and Better Made (Michigan)

Vote in Round 2 between now and Friday, April 4—and check back on Monday, April 7 for the FINALS! While you’re at it, subscribe to Sporked on YouTube so you don’t miss our full taste test of every single brand on Thursday, April 10.

    No Grippo’s BBQ from Cincinnati? I guess no ringers allowed in this tournament. Seriously, though, give them a try if you want to try the best chip in the universe.

    If you’re trying Old Dutch chips, you have to try their dill pickle chips. They’re by far the best dill pickle chips I’ve ever had and so much different than any other I’ve tried. Other brands are more like salt and vinegar whereas theirs are much more dilly, if that’s a word. Please try them, I can’t recommend them enough.

    Middleswarth chips are great! I always choose them over the national brands.

    Tim’s Cascade Jalapeño are the best chips out of Washington. I’m reminded of home when I eat these.
