BH and I stumbled upon this joint whilst venturing outside of the Vegas strip on our way from Starbucks (in the same plaza) to Bachi Burger. While driving away, coffee in hand, I pointed at the sign and literally yelled, "JERKY!!!" BH screeched the car to a halt, parked, and we walked into a paradise of dried, cured, jerked meats, fried peanuts, sweet popcorn, and various types of sauces and coffee.
BH and I are crazy about beef jerky. We originally thought alien was the place to go until we came here (the mom and pop shop near mammoth is great, too, but a little too far and out of our way since none of us ski/snowboard). The lady who worked there was awesome and very sweet. She explained the various types of meats (softer jerky in the refrigerator aisle) and the medium to harder jerky were in the barrels along the wall. She said she would be happy to let us sample any jerky we wanted. We tried about three - blazin' hot beef, maple smoked beef, and the cherry smoked turkey. The beef is a lot softer and more flavorful than the turkey. The maple smoked jerky is TDF. Slightly sweet, a little smoky, and very tender. The blazin' hot smoked beef jerky is my next fave. It isn't too spicy at all (but I can handle my heat). The lady kept asking me if I was okay and if I needed water LOL. It is about $22 per pound. We ended up getting half a pound of blazin' hot and a pound of maple smoked. We also grabbed a few bags of the cajun spiced peanuts and the peanut brittle. The peanuts are fried whole so the shell itself is crispy and edible and are $3.99 per bag. It's unlike anything I've ever tried!
Since BH and I are total gluttons, we ended up going BACK to the Jerky Outlet. . .not once but TWICE for a total of three visits. We bought an extra pound of blazin' hot beef jerky for a total of 1.5 pounds of blazin' hot, another TWO pounds of maple, for a total of 3 pounds of maple, and an extra bag of cajun peanuts and five extra bags of peanut brittle for a total of 11 bags of peanuts. . .
We also got two bags of the popcorn for BH's co-worker. We spent over $100 on jerky and peanuts. . .and a little bit of popcorn. Crazy? Yes. But we're crazy about jerky (and I guess peanuts too!)
