AWESOME THING WE ATE #866: “Bengal” Beef Jerky From Our Very Own Jerky Baron

Portrait

Local company The Jerky Baron is kicking ass. We recently got our hands on some of their “Bengal” jerky, and it was delicious stuff with good chew and nuanced spice (nothing too crazy). It’s $17 a bag, which is admittedly rather pricy, but it’s not the kind of stuff you find in gas stations and supermarket checkout lanes. The beef is free range, grass fed, grain finished Black Angus, and it’s finished with soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, and cardamom. Plus it tastes so much better! We scored ours from Le Marché St George, but you can also find it at Crome Yellow, Lucy’s Eastside Diner and Pleasant Beans. Lots of flavours, all of them unique. | Details
