BAYS

In 1933, George W. Bay opened a bakery in Chicago's downtown Loop district starting a new chapter in baking history. He sold English muffins with orange marmalade - a Bay family tradition. Using the original recipe his English grandmother brought to this country in the 1800s, George Bay made English muffins with only top-quality ingredients. Sold by the dozen in brown paper bags, the muffins were hand-delivered to bakeries, restaurants, hotels and private clubs. Soon Americans made English muffins a favorite breakfast meal.
