While traveling to South Carolina, my son and I wanted to stop off in Concord, NC to visit a few destinations. This area is known for its variety of shopping. From the Bass Pro (which I think the RVA store is nicer), Harley Davidson, Sticky Fingers BBQ, and a whole lot more; we ventured into the Beef Jerky Outlet (www.dojerky.com).
That's right, the Beef Jerky Outlet. Where samples are free before you buy your choice of jerky. We were greeted by the store general manager Zach. He was enthusiastic about the hundreds of jerky available and made sure we knew how the store was laid out and where to start with our buffet of free samples. We had smokey mountain jerky, turkey jerky, hunter sausages, and a mix of others with BBQ sauce, salsa, seasonings, and mustard's. Over 200 varieties of hot sauces were available! The store also offers varieties of jerky like Alligator, Kangaroo, Ostrich, Wild Boar, Duck, Pheasant, and much more.
It was a 20 minute period of male bonding and a lot of jerky tasting. It's amazing how exciting an outlet can be when you find that one store that provides a product no other does.
If your headed through I 85 and Concord, NC ( near Charlotte Motor Speedway), stop off at the Beef Jerky Outlet. Take exit 49 at Speedway Blvd. Ask for Zach and head for the barrels of jerky. You can even hit the website for orders, gift baskets, and gift certificates.
Who knows, we may even have a jerky eating contest at the next Outdoor Ministry event!
In just a bit of small world news, I ate jerky from this joint last week, probably the same day you did. Our student pastor believes that place is heaven on earth and brought me back some elk. Or squid. Or gopher. I can't be sure.
