Old Bay: How a Spice Blend Grew from Humble Beginnings to a Cult Favorite
Old Bay Seasoning has a rich history too! This beloved ingredient was developed in the late 1930s in Baltimore Maryland and was first sold by the Baltimore Spice Company (now owned by spice giant McCormicks.)
The Jewish-German chef Gustov Brunn is said to be the inventor. He named the mixture after a passenger ship called the Old Bay Line.
It’s become somewhat of a cult classic among its fans. In 2020 for example a hot sauce of the same name was released during the Super Bowl and was said to have sold out in 30 minutes! Pepperidge Farms once partnered with Old Bay to create a line of crackers that sold out in nine hours. No matter how you slice it people love their Old Bay Seasoning!
