I'd like to make the baby-back rib recipe that Alton Brown made.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cook..._11125,00.html

I'm having trouble finding some of the spices he used for the rub. (At
least I haven't found them at Cub and Rainbow here in Minneapolis).

I've not heard of "jalapeno seasoning". Is this the same as red pepper
flakes? What would be the equivalent of 1/2 teaspoon?

I haven't heard of "Old Bay Seasoning" either. Could I make this from
crushed bay leaves? (Are bay leaves edible?)

Old Bay Seasoning

http://tinyurl.com/apcyk

The Jalapeno Seasoning is essentially a seasoned salt with powdered
jalapeno and chili powder added. This is one recipe:

1 c Garlic salt
3/4 c celery salt
1/4 c salt
2 c Jalapeno Powder; *
1/2 c New Mexico Chile Powder; *

* Both of these items should be available at grocery and specialty
stores that handle Mexican foods.


Old Bay Seasoning is a spice blend that has become a staple in many
kitchens. It's usually available in the spice section of most
supermarkets. I wouldn't bother trying to duplicate it from scratch.

I'd assume that Jalapeno seasoning has dried jalapeno probably in a
seasoning salt base. But that is just a guess.

Old Bay Seasoning is a popular seafood seasoning that was created along
the east coast - Mass, Maine, ...Chesapeake Bay, maybe (hence, the "Old
Bay"). It is susposedly famous along the East coast. You should be able to
order it, if you can't find it locally.

LOVE this recipe.

I replace most of the spices with Penzey's Adobo spice mix. And the
Jalapeno seasoning I replace with Penzey's chipotle powder.

Old Bay is a specific seasoning mix, bay leaves wouldn't be a substitute.
You'll most likely find it near the seafood counter, but it might be in the
spice aisle. It's in a yellow-painted rectangular tin. If you can't find
it, ask at the fish counter.

Lowry's seasoned salt and some extra ground cayenne might be a sub, but it's
not Old Bay. I made that recipe from AB and it was not my favorite. Not bad,
just not tasty enuf. Ground bay leaves are used around here, but bay leaf
pieces are pretty near undigestible. Not poison, just get stuck in yer innards.

Look in the "Mexican Food" section. In my area, chile powder is found
in plastic packages hanging on a rack. I also find Mexican oregano
and granulatic garlic on the same rack.

My guess is either he doesn't know what section to look in or the
store carries the "other" brand - Zatarain's. I rarely see both
anymore, it's usually an either/or situation around here.

Might also try the seafood section of the store. One of our stores has
a separate room for seafood and puts the crab boil, Old Bay, hushpuppy
mix, etc. in there.
