Stick in a Box December box 2014

Welcome to this super-secret page, only found by the card that led you here. That's all to say that you're really awesome, just like the jerky in your box this month. Here's a little info on the people that made it awesome. 

 

According to legend (or rather, their website), Astig is a slang term meaning cool, badass or kickass. The flavor is Filipino-inspired and the texture is out of this world (read: badass). This may be the 1% Filipino in me talking, but I'm hooked. http://www.astigjerky.com/

Remember the the band, Damn Yankees? These aren't the same people. Just a total coinkydink on the word, damn. What is similar though is that they're both tender and sweet. I mean, remember High Enough?  Made with top round beef, this meat is easy on the teeth and tasty on the tongue. http://damngoodjerky.com/

50 years and three generations later, Tillamook is still smokin' jerky. Most likely with lumbersexual men — with guns. At least that's the story we're going with. It's tender, flavorful and free of preservatives. This jerky (and Big Daddy stick) are made with a secret recipe passed down from generations, most likely kept in the Coca Cola vault.  http://www.tcsjerky.com/

If you thought that three generations was impressive, try four. That's 1929 if you don't want to do the math. The extra-long beef stick you're eating wasn't made then, just the tradition. If you've been a subscriber for awhile, you may recall their Carne Seca and Sriracha jerky in previous months. They keep turning out the hits. http://peopleschoicebeefjerky.com/

We stand behind the assumption that if it tastes good, it has to be good for you. Flax-seed beef. We don't know why that's important, but we'll take it. It's 90% lean beef and tasty as hell. Healthy isn't numero uno on the "make the box" list, we're more of a flavor, texture and quality. They make the cut on all three, but if they want to throw in healthy — why not. http://www.timberridgecattle.com/
