Jerky, why you so 'spensive?
I ****ing love beef jerky.
Not that bullshit you get at every gas station ever, but the legit, delicious, thick, not-too-dry and not-too-moist, chewy, smoky jerky. Authentic stuff. There's plenty of great options down here in Texas, but its insanely expensive for what I figure is a very, very thing to make. I'm starting this in hopes to find delicious jerky options that aren't going to destroy my bank account. OR Delicious, easy to make jerky instructions would also be welcome. |

This is my favorite, by the way. Its not as pricey as some others, but they have 9-5 hours its just hard for me to remember to call them when I'm at work, and there's no e-commerce option. It's a chore to get it ordered.

Decent jerky has always been pricey, but the cost of beef has went up around 30 to even 50% around much of the nation.
Thus you see the price on a tiny bag o jerky at the gas station and go "WTF is this stuff made from unicorn livers?" |

This is true. It's criminal the way meat prices have gone up. A friend of mine told me about Zaycon - and I thought he was nuts until we tried it. Holy shit! When I am going to make Jerky - I grab the beef out of the freezer and have at it. |

Is it worth it? I would buy a case of pork tenderloins as I live off those but the last 24, 12 2 pks, I bought were .50 less than buying in bulk from them. |

We thought, "What the hell" and ordered the chicken breast. HOLY SHIT!!! I picked them up at the site and was floored. Biggest chicken breast I had ever seen. No GMO - nothing but natural. One chicken breast can EASILY feed both of us. OK...30 pounds in the freezer. Then, we tried the KC Strips. Same thing - Great quality. 20 pounds in the freezer. They taste GREAT. Next was the burger 90% lean. Outstanding. Now, we have tried the Ham (for the holidays) they were Smithfield hams and tasted great. Finally, the bacon. OUTSTANDING. Applewood smoked. Honestly, I don't usually recommend products - but I am absolutely sold on Zaycon. Never thought I'd say that - but there you go. |
