When your palate’s progressed past ridges and ranch, grab a bag of our favorite artisan potato chips loaded with offbeat flavors.

BEST SPICY: Kettle Spicy Thai

A sweet hint of lime makes these chips’ earthy spice and Eastern heat totally bright and very un-barbecue. about $3 for 5 ounces

BEST DRINK IMPERSONATOR: Hot Potatoes Spicy Bloody Mary

Chips for breakfast? Why not? Worcestershire, horseradish, cayenne and celery seed on these crunchers scream for a beer sidecar. about $1.45 for 5 ounces

BEST SEAFOOD (SERIOUSLY!): Route 11 Chesapeake Crab

They’re seafood-free, but smoky paprika, peppery heat and a distinct light meatiness make these chips taste dangerously akin to a lobster roll. about $1 for 2 ounces

BEST FOR VEGGIE LOVERS: Boulder Canyon Spinach & Artichoke

Don’t bother making dip when these airy chips—made with real spinach, artichoke, Parmesan and onion—give you all the cheesy herbs you want. about $3.71 for 5 ounces

BEST FOR LUNCH: Deep River New York Spicy Dill Pickle

They’re the ultimate deli chip: tongue-grippingly picklelike and surprisingly spicy with a distinct rye bite. about $1 for 2 ounces

BEST SWEET HEAT: Hawaiian Mango Habanero

Light, sweet mango plays tricks on your tongue before dry, throat-searing habanero fire takes over. about $3 for 8 ounces
