Mr. Hines was a traveling salesman back before interstate highways and chain restaurants. As he travelled, he sampled the cooking in a large number of restaurants across the country, keeping notes on what he liked and disliked at each location. He kept a record of good restaurants and that record became a popular book on good food.
In 1948, a man named Roy Park asked Hines to partner with him to produce food products. Hines-Park Foods was highly successful in the early 50’s. In 1956, Proctor and Gamble bought the company.
Duncan Hines is currently owned by Pinnacle Foods. Pinnacle owns such popular brands as Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth syrups, Lender’s Bagels, Van de Camp’s and Mrs. Paul’s Seafood and Vlassic Pickles.
