HERR'S SLOPPY JOE POTATO CHIP REVIEW (VIDEO)

One of the great American dinner solutions for decades has been the Sloppy Joe. Some say it was invented in Iowa in the 1930s, but many of us tend to think of the Manwich of the 1970s-present.

"What's a Manwich?"

Of course, now Manwich-type products exist that don't even require you to add your own ground beef - it's already in there. Now Herr's of Pennsylvania brings us a Sloppy Joe potato chip. As a major Sloppy Joe/Manwich fan, I'm skeptical it can be done. Particularly given the fact that I don't see either beef or green pepper on the ingredient list.

Let's go ahead and test it out. Will it be just the equivalent of a sandwich, or a Manwich? Watch my review and find out.

ROCKVILLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL APPROVE 4 YEAR TERMS FOR CITY ELECTED OFFICES

Rockville's Mayor and Council ended years of debate over whether 2 year terms were too short to accomplish the people's business Monday night, voting 3-2 to extend them to 4 years. Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton and Councilmembers Beryl L. Feinberg and Virginia D. Onley voted for the longer terms, but the change was opposed by Councilmembers Tom Moore and Julie Palakovich Carr. The new terms take effect in the 2015 city election. A 54% majority of voters approved of the idea in a 2013 city ballot question.

SIGN INSTALLED AT FUTURE ROCKVILLE DOUGH ROLLER! (PHOTOS)

Construction continues inside the future Dough Roller restaurant, in the King Farm Village Center in Rockville. The popular Ocean City, MD-based pizza and pancake chain's first DC-area location now has its permanent sign installed. It looks like there is still some more work to do on the interior, however. But this has to be one of the most-anticipated restaurant openings in the region for 2014.

The sign was actually lit last night, but the circular part with the Dough Roller character would only occasionally light up for a millisecond.
