The secret is out, Maryland! As Old Bay becomes more and more popular, some of our neighboring states are starting to take notice. What is currently a heavenly spice known to only a portion of the East Coast, could one day be known nation wide.

Today, we want to let out-of-staters know that the rumors are true. Marylanders really do put Old Bay on everything. It ain’t just for crabs. If out-of-staters want to start using our beloved spice, we want to take this moment to school them on all of the foods that are delicious when perfectly paired with Old Bay.
