Top peppered beef jerky: If you didn’t know, the word “jerky” comes from the Quechuan language of people indigenous to the Andes Mountains. It’s an Anglicization of their term for dried meat, ch’arki. Ch’arki was traditionally made from llama meat, which I gather makes one fine jerky, though regrettably, I’ve not sampled it yet. The keyword there being ‘yet’. If you don’t like jerky, permit me to posit the possibility that you simply haven’t tried the right brand yet. There are many cheap jerkies cluttering grocery store checkout aisles and gas station countertops, and these inferior meatstuffs can indeed leave a bad taste in the mouth, literally and metaphorically (not to mention the various chemicals and additives they use, which may or may not end up harming you in the long run).
Although beef jerky and meat sticks prompt an “ick” from some people, they’ve earned enough love to migrate from gas stations to supermarkets, with store brands sold by Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods. The target audience of most beef snacks: men, as is evident from the pitch on Slim Jim’s website: “Whenever a manmergency arises and your menergy levels start to dip, just peel and eat a cured meat stick to turn your mouth into a deli-flavored stronghold of protection.”

Jawbox Jerky was born from a backyard barbecue challenge among friends: can we make a better, tastier, healthier jerky than what’s available? That night, Jawbox co-founder Jay Lane went home and ordered a dehydrator online. And the next day Jay’s neighbor and Jawbox co-founder, Chef Devin (Devo) Beck, stopped by his local butcher to buy top-grade, grass-fed beef. Later that day, the very first batch of Jawbox Jerky was created. Find more information at https://jawboxjerky.com/.
