Ep 136: The Best Beef Jerky in SoCal | Jerky Chef Jeff Gaskin

he approached his late 30's, his metabolism was nowhere near where it used to be. His go to snack in his teens and 20's was a huge bowl of white rice doused in soy sauce, washed down with a 44oz Slurpee! Not so much anymore. He had to start eating healthier, and so he began snacking on the protein rich, low fat and low sugar beef jerky a lot, instead of chips and candy. Sadly, though, he noticed there were a lot of preservatives and nitrates in the majority of the jerky brands he was buying from stores. He was also spending a lot of money on it. When Jeff's girlfriend got him a food dehydrator for Christmas in 2016, he became obsessed with figuring out how to make the best tasting, but also healthiest beef jerky possible, and see if he could save money in the process. It has been a fun and tasty couple of years of testing and refining my flavors and methods; but now he's now confident he can make 8 of the best varieties of beef jerky you've ever tasted! From traditional garlic pepper and teriyaki to spicy honey mustard and orange ginger flavors, also available in chicken or salmon, there's something on his jerky menu for everyone. He even makes a "naked" variety, which makes a great treat for dogs, and he guarantees they will go crazy for them! If anyone would like to find out more, or give some of Jeff's jerky a try, they can reach him at Jeffgaskin@hotmail.com. Jeff makes each order fresh, which takes about 2-3 days to complete to perfection, but it's worth the wait! He's happy to deliver to anywhere in the South Bay, as his trusty adorable husky sidekick, Moose, loves going for rides and making deliveries with him! Website coming soon.
