Michael Symon, really? You really need to get out of Cleveland more. This is not the best beef jerky by any means. It is okay beef jerky but, nowhere near the best I've had. I was really anxious to try said beef jerky and of course the bacon jerky. I'm on a very strict diet so I could only try a tiny bit and got a few dirty looks because I ordered so little amount. Lady behind the stand rolls her eyes at me because I only ordered one piece of each, really? Anyway, the beef jerky is smoky, big deal... The beef jerky is so dry I had to get some water to help wash it down. Besides the fake smoke flavor I really didn't taste anything special and I don't see what the big hub-bub is about Michael Symon. I guess you just get better service and the freshest stuff when you go there and when a peon like me shows up, I get the last piece from who knows when. I'll pass next time.
