My New Regional Food Obsession: Garrett's Popcorn

By Nora

I was in Chicago last week/weekend for a business trip, where I was pretty much on my feet 12 hours a day for 5 days straight. By the time I headed to the airport to go home I was mentally and physically exhausted and really felt like I needed to TREAT MAH SELF. But what could O'Hare Airport have to offer in that regard? My coworker insisted I buy a bag of Garrett's popcorn, which I had never heard of in my entire life. And she insisted I buy the "Chicago" mix of CheeseCorn and CaramelCrisp. So I did. It's a miracle the bag lasted until I got home, but was promptly devoured for breakfast the next morning. And I am not ashamed. It was that good.

If you don't live near Chicago or NYC, you can also buy it online. I know it seems extreme to buy popcorn over the internet, but this stuff is worth it, I promise.

LOVE when the company I write about comments on my post!

And don't worry, you'll be my first stop next time i'm in Chicago. I'm still dreaming about the cheddar popcorn...

I might possibly factor in this particular popcorn when choosing airports to have a lay over in. But don't tell my husband that is who I choose.
