Beef Jerky Worth Seeking Out

Published on Tuesday, January 27, 2009, by Aida Mollenkamp / Edit Post

A while back, the food team set out to make our own jerky. We had to do it for two reasons: (1) Commercial jerky tends to be loaded with USI (unpronounceable scary ingredients), and (2) good jerky is usually found locally and not widely distributed so you’re out of luck if you’re not in the vicinity. But I recently came across a jerky that’s nitrite free, organic, and pretty high on the tastiness quotient. It has a beefy, clean flavor, a chewy texture (a quality perhaps paramount when it comes to jerky), and a great name, John Wayne’s Organic Beef Jerky. And seeing as all the proceeds from the jerky go to the John Wayne Cancer Foundation, you now have permission to justify your snacking.

    I think the Duke is a great fit with a beef jerky product but the product does not compliment nor fit the brand or image of John Wayne. It is made on another continent from imported beef (that has been inspected)...but it is inferior product in an effort to produce cheaply.

    But other than that...the article is right on. ;)-COLLAPSE
