I started eating beef jerky 5 years ago after always ignoring it my whole life. I blame "fruit leather" for this, by the way. I was always given fruit leather as a child and told it was just as good as candy, which it definitely isn't. Beef jerky totally activates the part of my brain that hates fruit leather. But part of getting older is getting over things. I like beef jerky but I've noticed significant differences between different brands. What's the best jerky I can buy at a store? What's the best jerky I can only get at a specialty store? What's the best jerky I can only get online? I usually buy the teriyaki variety, which has nothing to do with my username, which I didn't choose.

The gently caress is fruit leather? The best beef jerky is whatever jerky I’m eating at any given moment.

The goon one (Big Johns) is pretty good and the owner is quite responsive to feed back in the sa mart thread.

Man all the mainstream stuff blows these days so if you don't have a local purveyor all you have is this mushy underflavored trash beef The real stuff is hard as hell to chew through

I'm not sure anymore, is any jerky under $100/oz in the store these days? The few times I've treated myself on a long drive I usually get old trapper.

The real treat is gas station pepperoni that has no meat but just fat.

sock it to me! posted:Old Trapper is consistently good. Came here to say this. I used to get a giant gently caress-off bag of teriyaki or peppered Old Trapper at Quik Trip for $12 and it was always tender and flavorful. The bags were always filled to the brim, too, so you got your money’s worth. If not Old Trapper, Sweet Baby Ray’s is drat good.

Thick sliced and tender. Dried-up paper thin wood bark stuff can take a hike. Here's a hint: get a smoker and make your own exactly how you want.

My favorite is the Oberto Thin Sliced stuff, but it's hard to find. Regular Oberto is as mediocre as the other big brands. ncumbered_by_idgits posted:The gently caress is fruit leather?

As a jerky enthusiast I can confirm that big John's is great. Been buying that stuff since around 2011 and I haven't found a jerky I like more. E: actually I don't think I have bought any in over a year. Gonna go and put an order in now. Thanks for reminding me, op

Jack's links isn't the best, but their turkey jerky is great if you wanna chew on something for like an hour.

my favorite was the stuff you see in convenience stores/gas stations that comes in basically little sheets, usually in a self-serve container with tongs and a paper bag. I don't eat meat anymore though  titty_baby_ posted:

Rural King’s store brand teriyaki. A pound is 17 bucks, which is good jerky value these days.

Big John is super inconsistent. Sometimes it's nice and tender and well marinated sometimes it's sub-jack links quality

Is there a reason I can't find the Big John SA mart jerky thread? I may need more practice operating my internet machine.
