In Paid Partnership with Lay’s.

BravoCon 2022 took place from October 14 to October 16 at the Javits Center in New York City, and in addition to a bit of drama throughout the weekend, there were also so many golden moments at panels, Bravopalooza events, and more. 

At the “Bravo’s Most Golden Moments Power Hour” panel, presented by Lay’s, Teresa Giudice, Karen Huger, Dorinda Medley, and Jill Zarin came together to look back at some of their most iconic Housewives moments. During the panel, Teresa shared an exciting update on what’s to come in the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Dorinda revealed how “excited” she was about creating a Lay’s recipe for the weekend (more on that below).

The next day, Vicki Gunvalson, Margaret Josephs, Kyle Richards, and Shereé Whitfield took the stage for their own “Golden Moments Power Hour,” presented by Lay’s. In addition to looking back at her memorable past Housewives scenes, Kyle shared some big news about her daughter Farrah’s upcoming wedding. Some other iconic Housewives moments from across the franchise were shown in a package sponsored by Lay’s at WWHL Presents: Andy’s Legends Ball. 

The weekend also included multiple “Bravopalooza: Lay’s Golden Hour” events, during which guests were encouraged to savor every moment with some of their favorite Bravolebs while enjoying bites and drinks. There was even a sparkling gold backdrop to ensure fans could get the perfect photo.  

Food and drinks were a big part of the weekend, and Lay’s took it to a new level by teaming up with Kyle, Dorinda, and Melissa Gorga to create bites based on some of their most legendary moments. 

“I have been selected to be a Real Housewife of Lay’s, because I stay golden even when the drama gets heavy,” Kyle shared on the October 9 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen ahead of the event. “You know that I want to lift the mood, I love to do the splits, and that inspired my Party Splits chip creation, which pairs nicely with a split margarita.”  

Throughout the weekend, Kyle, Dorinda, and Melissa’s exclusive Lay’s recipes were available for attendees to try. Below, find a step-by-step guide to creating all three at home:
