• Notes

  Jay Bush, spokesperson for Bush's Baked Beans, has been working for the family business since he was "knee high to a pinto bean." As the son of Condon Bush, grandson of founder A.J. Bush, Jay was ready to be a part of the company from the very beginning. As a youngster, Jay could often be found playing with his "bean toys" and pretending that he was making bean recipes along with the rest of the family. As a young man, Jay went to college at the University of Tennessee. Shortly after graduating from college, he returned to fulfill his childhood dream of working for the family business. Today, Jay has a family of his own. In addition to his regular job, Jay (along with his dog Duke) has been busy for several years now spreading the word about Bush's Baked Beans as the commercial spokesperson.
