Suttons Bay Trading Company’s Grill Seasoning

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Nov. 22, 2025

Karen and Kimberly Pontius were looking decades—and miles—into the future when they established their spice-blending house, Suttons Bay Trading Company, in 2000. If your next destination is as imminent as dinner, we recommend starting with their top-selling Suttons Bay Grill Seasoning. Meticulously crafted using the shop’s own recipes (as are all of their blends), this multitasking spice was created to be delicious on just about anything, from the grillable meats its name suggests, to veggies, popcorn, and beyond. Sprinkle it liberally on whatever you please and prepare to get, well, a little, spicy! Find Suttons Bay Trading Co. at 310 N St. Joseph St. in Suttons Bay. And don’t miss their 25th anniversary celebration, complete with refreshments and in-store discounts, on Nov. 25 from 11am-4pm! suttonsbaytrading.com
