Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” visited the J.O. Spice facility in Halethorpe, Maryland, to film an episode of the Discovery Channel and Discovery+ show, and as this clip makes clear, also to weigh in on one of Maryland’s most essential questions: Old Bay or J.O. for crabs?
Watch the clip below to see which side Rowe is firmly on.
And no surprise, J.O. is all ready to claim any bragging rights from the episode’s buzz.
“You can watch as Mike tries to set the record straight and learn about the crab house seasoning of choice, since 1945, while making and packing the crab house seasoning,” J.O. Spice said on Facebook.
