Uncle Buck's Beef Jerky - Jalapeno

Uncle Buck's is the brand name that Bass Pro Shops uses for its store branded products. It comes from the uncle of Johnny Morris, the founder of Bass Pro Shops, who's credited with teaching the future catalog salesman the joys of fishing.

Bass Pro Shops' jerky is actually manufactured by Monogram Meat Snacks, of Chandler, MN, a large private labeler of beef jerky, making such brands as Jeff Foxworthy Beef Jerky, Winchester Beef Jerky, NASCAR Beef Jerky, Jim Beam Beef Jerky, Frank's Redhot Beef Jerky, Stubbs' Beef Jerky, and the list goes on.

I had previously reviewed Uncle Buck's Original variety beef jerky last month. It's a chunked & formed style of meat, very comparable to the Jeff Foxworthy and Winchester brands, if not, exactly the same. But I don't believe those two brands include this Jalapeno flavor.

Uncle Buck's Beef Jerky - Original

Uncle Buck's is the store brand of Bass Pro Shops, the famous supplier of fishing gear that has exploded onto the American retail scene with super-sized stores dubbed "Outdoor World" looking like a log cabin big enough to house Paul Bunyan.

The name "Uncle Buck" refers to the uncle of Johnny Morris, the founder of Bass Pro Shops, who introduced him to fishing when he was a child. All of Bass Pro Shops store-branded items honor his name.

Bass Pro Shops doesn't make their own jerky. This stuff is manufactured by Monogram Meat Snacks of Chandler, MN, who makes jerky for several other brands, including Jeff Foxworthy, NASCAR, Winchester Rifles, Stubb's BBQ, Jim Beam, etc.
