In 1991, Barry Levenson quit his job as an assistant attorney general in Wisconsin to follow his true passion: mustard. Founder of the National Mustard Museum, in Middleton, Wis., Levenson's collection of mustards has grown to more than 7,000 varieties from around the world.

Barry Levenson, a former assistant attorney general in Wisconsin, left his legal career in 1991 to pursue his passion for mustard, founding the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin. The museum now features over 7,000 varieties of mustard from all 50 US states and more than 70 countries, showcasing the condiment's diversity and cultural significance.

The museum also organizes the annual Worldwide Mustard Championships, with hundreds of entries in various styles and flavors. The collection includes unique items such as mustard-flavored soda and ice cream, reflecting the wide-ranging uses of mustard. Levenson's dedication highlights mustard's historical roots, tracing back to Roman times and the innovations of Dijon monks in the 13th century.

A museum that truly cuts the mustard

Can I have ketchup on there? No. If you thought maybe the Wiener Circle in Chicago was uniquely anti-ketchup. No f***ing ketchup, man. It turns out there's another pocket of ketchup resistance in a basement in Middleton, Wisconsin. On our hot dogs, on our bratwurst, mustard is so cool. Which is where we found Barry Levinson. Never ketchup, they're against the rules. Levinson is founder of the National Mustard Museum. In fact, he doesn't even like ketchup and mustard on the same table. Like mixed together. Yeah, mixed together, and I think that's a travesty. That's, you know, dogs lying down with cats, right? Right. That's a sin against nature. Definitely. Levinson, who quit his job in 1991 as an assistant attorney general Maui onion mustard. To focus on his love of mustard. Dijon mustards, they're never too strong. Also runs the annual Worldwide Mustard Championships. It's a good honey mustard. It's got some crazy dark umami going on there. Featured over 250 entries this year in every style and flavor you could imagine. I've probably tasted at least 3,000 or 4,000 different mustards. There's everything from American yellow, to Dijon, to garlic mustards, to urban veggie mustards, to fruit mustards, exotic mustards. I'm feeling it all over my face. There's a hot pepper category, which can be challenging for the volunteer judges. And also challenging for a TV correspondent who just thought he was going to taste some, like, Grey Poupon. I feel it, like, in my scalp. In case you were wondering, a mustard from Finland was crowned grand champion this year. As far as its history, well, mustard can be traced back to Roman times. But it was around the 13th century when the monks of Dijon, France, began making it the way we know it today. What qualifies something as mustard in your opinion? Because some of these things are definitely pretty far afield from what I think of as a traditional mustard. Well, they may not be traditional, but they have mustard seed and some other liquid, and that qualifies it as a mustard. In more recent mustard history, Levinson's collection has grown to over 7,000 mustards and counting. This is what we call the Great Wall of Mustard. From all 50 states. So you've got Humboldt, this is the county of my birth. And over 70 countries. These are from England. Showcasing all of mustard's versatile uses. We've also got mustard-flavored soda. Ooh, I can't believe that that didn't catch on. Uh, yeah. And we mean anything mustard-related. We have here a couple of scoops of mustard ice cream. Yes, made for us on National Mustard Day. Okay. And it's sold out the last three years. That is so much better than I thought it was going to be. That's really, really tasty. Very subtle with the mustard. Wisely. Even after nearly 40 years, Levinson says he's still captivated by his beloved condiment. And we have a surprise for you. Okay. Oh, my goodness. The weekend show that cuts the mustard? Yes. That is high, high praise here at the National Mustard Museum. And you deserve it. Thank you.
