...curled wafers that are burnished with a savory and peppery spice blend, or the even more tantalizing incendiary jalapeno chips, hot enough to drive the muncher straight to a can of cold Dixie beer. Judging by the high price of Maui chips (as much as $7.59 for a 7-oz. bag), Hawaiians like heavy grease -- as do certain Angelenos. Jurgensen's, a high-toned Southern California grocery, buys all it can get of these dark, oily chips. The steep price does not discourage devotees like Andrea Sharp, a Los Angeles waitress.
