CAN'T BEAT HOMEMADE JERKY
We make a lot of jerky at home. My husband's secret recipe consists of teriyaki sauce and sweet chili sauce. Not much of a secret, but it produces great results every time. We have a couple different dehydrators we use. I like my jerky spicier than he does so I was happy to find a spicy blend at this outlet.
We stopped in here on our way back to the airport before a departing flight home. Knowing that Virgin doesn't provide free peanuts or snacks, I wanted to stock up a little and fill my pockets with nibblers. The exotic meats offered here were a little bit out of what I thought was a fair price. It's expensive to get kangaroo and alligator even at Cabela's but I normally get a bunch when I'm in Reno. I passed on this stop.
We were greeted upon walking in by a cheerful woman who told us about the shop and let us try a deep fried peanut sample. I actually eat peanut shells. I like the salt and mealy taste to them. These had the shells on and you were supposed to eat them that way so I was excited. Same great shell taste (but no salt). They weren't bad but we passed on buying any.
We ended up just purchasing a few flavors out of the beef bins. They had lots to choose from and we each picked a couple: peppercorn and hot/spicy for me, teriyaki and something else for him. I liked that the bins allowed you to pick the amount you wanted for a set, per-pound price. We didn't get a lot and our total was just under $7. Not bad. A couple of the pieces were very dry and tough but the flavor was good. Other pieces were more tender. I liked the combination of both.
Not sure we'd go out of our way to stop back in but it was a good stop for what we needed that day.
