Best. Beef Jerky. Ever.

Posted by Jesse Hartung

Jim Dandy

This one may be a little of topic but as the title says, this is the best beef jerky ever, and worth a post.  I discovered Jim Dandy in Minneapolis one day at a gas station, I was drawn in by the clear packaging (not hiding anything) and so I gave it a shot.  Right away I knew i discovered a  rare treat!

This Jerky is not the big brand crap you find these days that’s all moist and comes in 30 different flavors, no this is the dry as a bone, sore jaw inducing gold. Yes dry as a bone and sore jaws are compliments, I’m not the only one that loves this Jerky though as I quickly found out when I purchased a bunch for a Metal Roofing install we had up north. The whole crew looked at me like I was crazy when I walked up with near $100.00 worth of Jerky but by the end of the weekend the roof was done and the Jerky was in short supply, my girlfriend even enjoyed it but that’s another story.

It comes in three flavors, the black label being my favorite and If you haven’t had it yet here’s a link to the website, now go get some jerky!
