| - Seven months ago, we stopped by JoJo's Jerky while wandering the shops in the strip. We're still enjoying the Sweet Heat Spicy Thai Chili marinade and the Hell on Earth dry rub we picked up. Every once in a while, my partner will cook up an excellent cut of meat or even tofu with sweet and spicy flavor and I'll be like, "Whoa, this is really good! What is it???" And he'll answer the same every time, "That sauce we picked up in Vegas."
OK, let's talk about the venue first. Easily accessible from the strip, and the employees are super friendly, knowledgeable about the product, and generous with samples. If you know me, you know I love dirty humor, so lines like "Grab your nut sack" and "Get rubbed and jerked" had me smirking. Considering the quality, location, and the small-business nature of the product, I feel that the prices are reasonable, too. When we asked for recommendations, the guy behind the counter strongly talked up the Spicy Thai Chili marinade, so we decided to try it out. Seven months later, we're still loving it! It's got a spicy sweetness that's very bold without being too salty.
Now that I think about it, we probably would have loved any of JoJo's marinades.
As spice lovers, we couldn't pass up a dry rub called "Hell on Earth" either. We use it for pretty much everything, and it has kind of a slow burn heat, instead of being super in-your-face spicy. We try to portion it out, though, cause if we used it willy-nilly, we'd run out way too quickly.
This secret can't stay in Vegas. I'm considering asking some friends who are in Vegas to replenish my stock of JoJo's marinade.
