Papa j's gourmet jerky started out a treat for friends and family for poker games, athletic events, and just plain snacking. It is made from 100% steak, not pressed hamburger. It is a family owned business without additional employees. It is made fresh upon orders, not stored or frozen. It is cured overnight with my own spices, dehydrated and finished out with baking. Customers say it is the best they have tasted. Even have a customer in Ohio.
