Old Bay to paint Baltimore yellow and blue in Summer of Baytriotism

What is the big reveal?

A big Old Bay announcement is coming on Thursday. The announcement will be made Thursday morning at Miss Shirley's as part of Summer of Baytriotism, a season-long celebration of the distinctive blend of 18 herbs and spices.

We do know that the announcement will outline details of Taste of Baytriotism, a week-long restaurant promotion (June 22-30) featuring specially created menu items, introuduce the Voice of Old Bay Radio and demonstrate a new smartphone technology named Blippar that will be making its United States debut during the Summer of Baytriotism.

But there's something else, something big. But we don't know what it is, except that it's going to be revealed at Thursday's media announcement. 

Stay tuned, and in the meantime:
