I don't know if I can say anything beyond what Paolo D. has alreday said about Jerky Outlet. My experience and initial impressions are very much the same. I was warmly greeted and breifed on the product and layout of the store. I was told about the packaged jerky and sausage as well as the deep fried peanuts of which you can sample. I was told that I could fill my own bag with my own meat mixture and pay by the pound. I like the variety provided here. Many flavors to choose from and many types of meat are the highlight to me. They have beef, bison, elk, venison, turkey, aligator, and kangaroo. I wanted to try kangaroo so badly but it was a softer jerky. Thicker cuts simply smoked and packaged. I was afraid to buy a big bag and risk not liking it. Especially at the high price I'm sure it is. I'll have to find some adventurous friends to go in on it with me. Instead I got a small bag of smoked venison. 1.92 oz at $7.99 per bag. It is expensive but I wanted to try it. Its good. Not very tender but a ton of flavor. A good purchase for a different sort of snack. Next time I go back, and I will be back, I want to get a t-shirt. Yes, they have those too. And in sizes up to 4XL. They read "People Eating Tasty Animals." I love it. They had one other about vegetarians being the villiage idiot. Funny stuff for a hardcore meat eater like me.
