The History
In 1990 Stan Cooper and his buddies were sitting around a campfire after a long day of hunting in Colorado. One of his friends shared a recipe he had for a spice he used on his deer meat and taught him how mix and measure different ingredients to create his own seasoning.
As Stan continued to hunt out West for the next 17 years he continued experimenting with different seasonings for his own use. Then back in his hometown of Panama City, FL he gave bottles of what they referred to as “the stuff” to his charter fishing trip customers to use on their fish.
Due to popular demand and much pleading in 2010, Stan and his wife, Georgia, decided to make Stan’s Stuff a reality. They started out mixing, weighing, bottling, sealing, and labeling it in the kitchens at Mike’s Diner and Philip’s Meats in Panama City. They were able to sell it in various local stores, seafood markets, and restaurants in the area where customers fell in love with Stan’s Stuff.
