About the That’s Life! Best Chip Shop Competition
Vats are firing up again around the country for the start of the That's Life! Best Chip Shop Competition 2009. Last year, over 400 chip shop owners around the country picked up the challenge and now we’re looking forward to seeing you at the start line this year.
Why enter?
- 7 million scoops of chips are served in NZ each week – now that’s a market worth protecting!
- With this Competition and the Chip Group, we can proudly say that we’re all "working together for healthier chips".
- Great prizes to be won, plus the chance to be named NZ’s Best Chip Shop.
- Customer votes are weighted according to the population within your region, therefore, everybody has an equal chance to win.
A major highlight of last year’s Competition was over 70% of the 89 finalists achieved the Chip Group’s aim of an average fat content of 9.2%. This shows a commitment on the part of chip shop owners towards reducing the fat content of New Zealand’s favourite takeaway food.
