Three Jerks Jerky - Filet Mignon Jerky

Filet Mignon has never before been made into jerky from a production standpoint, at least until now...

Three Jerks Jerky is the creation of three guys (or jerks), who needed a killer idea to create a business around. After chewing on some beef jerky, they wondered taking the best cut of beef and turning it into jerky. So they bought several pounds of filet mignon and began the process of perfecting a few recipes.

Three Jerks Jerky sent me packages of their three flavors for review, all made from filet mignon: The Original, Memphis BBQ, and Chipotle Adobo.

Wild Bill's Beef Jerky - Teriyaki (Revised Recipe)

Wild Bill's Beef Jerky recently revised their Teriyaki variety, again. Last November, I wrote a review of their Teriyaki beef jerky which was stamped, "More Teriyaki Taste".

The folks at Monogram Food Solutions, the parent company of Wild Bill's, tells us that they changed the recipe again, and asked that we do another review. This new recipe has a completely changed list of ingredients, removing much of the preservatives. This new recipe hasn't quite reached stores yet, but should be reaching you by the time you read this.

The Wild Bill's brand remains one of the world's oldest operating beef jerky brands, going back to 1955 when it was part of Balwell's Butcher Shop, up in Lancaster County, PA. Today, it's one of the top selling brands in the eastern United States. It's still made the same old way after all these years, sliced from whole muscle, hung on racks by hand, and dehydrated in smokers.
