About Us

Hi, I’m Theo Granger, a former line cook and unapologetic flavor maximalist from New Orleans. I believe there are two types of people in this world: those who season their food, and those who LIVE to season their food. This blog is for the latter.

My philosophy is simple:
If your spices aren’t making you sneeze, you’re not using enough.

My Journey from Bland to Bold

Growing up in a Creole kitchen in the French Quarter, I learned early that flavor isn’t something you add—it’s something you build. After working in professional kitchens from Nashville to Austin, I noticed a troubling trend:

  • Restaurants playing it safe with bland “crowd-pleasers”
  • Home cooks terrified of their spice racks
  • The tragic rise of “salt-and-pepper-only” syndrome

I started Boldly Over Seasoning as a rebellion against boring food and a celebration of:
✔ Spice cabinet adventures
✔ Fearless flavor layering
✔ The beautiful art of “too much”
