Old Bay Makes Everything Better (Challenge Accepted)

I've started a couple of challenges with this blog.  There was the Eating Out challenge where I had to find a meal at a random restaurant that could pass for a decent diet meal...that pretty much petered out.  And then there was 30 Days, 30 Dinners...which also petered out.

But this one is going to stick, because it's near and dear to my heart...

I'm from Balmer, hon...I am a child of the Charm City.  Just about everything about Baltimore is near and dear to my heart.  And one thing that is an absolute truth about Marylanders....We cannot get enough Old Bay...

It's practically a requirement that all Marylanders have a can of Old Bay in their house.  And if you are a true Baltimorean, your can of Old Bay is the biggest one in your spice collection.  My love affair with Old Bay dates back to making Oodles N' Noodles at my parents house.  My favorite was shrimp flavored and after it cooked, I'd top it off with a couple good shakes of Old Bay for good measure.  Old Bay is heavily used when it comes to seafood...

But, I love it so much, I like to say "Old Bay makes everything better!"...Do I hear a challenge there?

I'll start collecting a list of everything I try that is awesome with Old Bay.  My theory is that, except for desserts, EVERYTHING is better with some Old Bay on it.  I've been keeping tabs on this for a bit, and here's my current list...

Grilled Chicken
Sausages
Eggs
Steaks
Burgers
Fish
Potatoes
Corn on the Cob
Pasta Salad

If you want to dare me to put it on something crazy, go right ahead.  I'm out to prove that Old Bay literally can not make a food taste worse.  And if Old Bay wants to throw in a few free cans for me doing this, I would never in a heartbeat turn them down....
