What is Old Bay?
1.
The best seasoning on the face of the Earth. Used for crabs, shrimp, fish, vegetables, chicken, french fries and basically anything edible.
If you're not from Maryland you probably don't know what it is.
MD Student 1: WTF? They didn't put Old Bay on the fries today!
MD Student 2: Don't worry, I always carry some with me.

It's a tasty seasoning if you're in Maryland, but an annoyance if you're anywhere else. If you're in a deli in New York don't ask the guy at the counter if he has any Old Bay for your burger. Everyone in line will think you're a tool.
