Winner! Herr's reveals Philadelphia man as $10k-winner of 'Flavored by Philly' chip contest
PHILADELPHIA - Drum roll, please! Herr's has announced the winning flavor of it's "Flavored by Philly" contest - Long Hots and Sharp Provolone!
The flavor, submitted by Philadelphia beer wholesaler Ryan Reigel, was inspired by the legendary Philadelphia roast pork sandwich.
Reigel says he tried the sandwich before going to his first Eagles game with a friend - the same friend who sent him the link to enter the Herr's contest.
"He said you have to get it with long hots and sharp provolone." Reigel said of his first roast pork sandwich.
