Title — Chesapeake Crab Sunrise™

“O morning tide, bless these blue-clawed gifts, that our souls may taste the hush of the bay at dawn.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

When the first light skimmed the Chesapeake, the Waterfolk of ancient Maryland
cast their nets and promised the brightest blue crabs to the rising sun.
In return, the dawn painted the estuary gold and granted the people
boundless bounty. From that covenant was born a sacred breakfast:
sweet-corn grits, Old Bay-kissed crab cakes, and sunrise-hued hollandaise—
a meal said to echo the quiet lap of bay waves in every bite.

Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story

Brand Origin Story

Chesapeake Crab Sunrise™ emerged on a weather-worn dock in
St. Michaels, where fourth-generation crabbers partnered with
a Michelin-minded chef. Together they alchemized heritage—
blue crab cakes atop buttermilk biscuits, crowned with saffron-Old Bay
hollandaise—honoring both fisher lore and nouvelle cuisine.

Expansion Prophecy

Within five years, “Sunrise Shacks” will dot coastlines from
Bar Harbor to Key West, serving dawn-to-noon Chesapeake feasts and
teaching sustainable crab harvesting. Each satisfied traveler
becomes a ripple, carrying bay stewardship and breakfast mythology
to every shore.
