BUCKS COUNTY, PA - While coronavirus forced many businesses to shutter their doors permanently, Marcus Davis left his life in NCY for greener pastures in Bucks County, PA, to fulfill his life-long dream of becoming an entrepreneur.
New York Steamfitter Trades Big Apple for Bucks County, PA
Wah Gwan is inspired by the Jamaican Patois greeting, which means "What's going on." The seasoning line is the brainchild of Marcus Davis and his wife, Rose Orrell Davis. A former New York Steamfitter from the big apple launched the new Salt & Spice Company in Bucks County, PA.
The spices are made with home cooking in mind and educate home cooks on using the line to create incredible home-cooked meals.
The idea was born from a desire to help inspire and educate families to return to the kitchen, talk, laugh, and heal. Just before the pandemic, the NYC transplants moved to New Hope, where Rose grew up.
And Wah Gwan was conceived in their Bucks Country farmhouse kitchen; however, They actually thought the idea of decades ago.
Marcus, the 44-year-old union worker, started to learn the fundamentals of cooking, trying out different blends looking for an all-purpose seasoning that bridges cultural and situational cuisine.
Then Rose gifted him with two vital quality-sourced ingredients: Pimentón de la Vera dulce sweet smoked Spanish paprika and dried scotch bonnet powder. He realized the combination ignited serious sparks. What happened next was purely magical, and Wah Gwan seasoning was born.
