Slowly but surely, we finally managed to get 100 jerky brands on display in the Jerky Shrine. As with each jerky maker submission, I highly encourage them to donate any jerky paraphernalia to the Jerky Shrine. Each jerky submission is a total mystery as to what we are receiving, whether it be the jerky itself or the jerky paraphernalia. Sometimes, we are spoiled with items for the Jerky Shrine, and other times, we are left Read More
2024 Beef Jerky Price
In the 2023 Beef Jerky Price Update, 300 jerky makers were found to get a wider variety of jerky prices. In this 2024 Beef Jerky Price Update, 56 of those 300 jerky makers could no longer be included. This seems to happen every year. The main reasons include the jerky maker going out of business, a jerky brand no longer selling jerky bags between 2 ounces and 4 ounces online, and a company may still be in business but stopped Read More
1100 Jerky Reviews
While it took over ten years, we have published 1100 jerky reviews. On a recent trip to California, we managed to get over 400 jerky brands, over 1700 bags, and 100 jerky brands on display in the Jerky Shrine. A conscious decision was made in 2020 to start reviewing more big brand jerky rather than small craft jerky brands with the closure of the border to the USA for Canadians. That trip will return us to our Read More

Few things in life are game changers. Growing up, I often used the term the greatest thing since sliced bread. Over my lifetime, the game changers for me have been the personal PC introduced in 1977 (I loved DOS), the Internet (1996 using the Lynx text-based web browser (Netscape could be considered a game changer before Microsoft Explorer destroyed them)), email, the chat website ICQ, and artificial intelligence in November Read More
400 Jerky Shrine Brands
It took about seventeen years to accumulate 400 jerky shrine brands. Our recent 2024 California trip helped us get over 1,700 bags with forty-six jerky bags accumulated on that trip, a decent jerky haul. Of the 36 jerky brands found, 31 are new to this jerky review website. We are going back to our roots after this California trip focusing more on small craft jerky brands rather than big brand jerky.

2024 California Trip
My wife Stephanie (Birdie) and I’s trip to California was a success, mainly based at Port Hueneme, Madera, and Lake Tahoe. It was great to catch up on Steph’s extended family and friends. As with any trip to the USA, I tried to line up six jerky submissions, which I did. Usually, one or two jerky makers bow out at the last minute for whatever reason. On this particular trip, only three of the six jerky makers came through with Read More
Jerky Ingredients 10 Year Anniversary
Ten years later, we are still publishing jerky reviews. We still have plenty of inventory to review, with enough jerky to last until the Fall. Over the last couple of years, the focus has shifted to purchased jerky rather than jerky submissions. Of course, we are always open to receiving jerky submissions. Coming in 2024 is jerky purchased from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, along with some new Canadian jerky brands. We Read More
300 Jerky Distributors
It took us nearly nine years to review 300 jerky distributors. Normally, the jerky manufacturer is also the jerky distributor. It is not uncommon to see private labelers manufacture jerky. Some jerky distributors have multiple jerky brands, and in some cases, many jerky brands. Back in 2010 – 2012, it was the distribution that killed our chances of launching our jerky brand. We could not put forth a valid business plan, Read More
900 Jerky Ingredients
When I first started this jerky review website in 2014, I had already accumulated about 550 jerky ingredients. I thought we would get to 700 ingredients, but no more than 800 ingredients. Well, over 1,000 jerky reviews later, we have now reviewed over 900 jerky ingredients. Our last review on Wild Javelina alone introduced nine new ingredients. I thought that those days were behind us but that is what you get Read More
