Welcome to the Angela’s Awesome Jerky newsletter

Planning a new product launch, and I need your help

In April I will be launching a new product. This is something I have been promising you all for months and now is the time. The problem is, I’m not sure which flash of inspiration to turn into my next bit of awesomeness. So I’m letting the people make the decision, because you can’t go wrong when you follow the wisdom of the people. Would you rather have:

• Tequila Lyme
• Buffalo Ranch
• Or BBQ Chipotle?

You might be tempted to say "All of the above!" Unfortunately however, that simply isn’t an option. I’m no multi-tasker and want to give each new product my best creative effort. So what would you choose? drop me an email! and let me know.

Flavor spotlight: Dad’s Bragging Rights

Today, March 14 would be my dad’s 69th birthday, so it is fitting that I dedicate this issue’s product spotlight to the jerky he invented. Dad and I had a long history of competing in the kitchen, and naturally neither gave any quarter to the other, except in the case of Dad’s Bragging Rights. I had already come out with a teriyaki and a Cajun, and naturally Dad wanted to come up with one better. So he whipped up this batch of sauces and spice and threw some beef in, and when the final product was done I knew there was no competing with it. So Dad’s Bragging Rights was born, and I was inspired to improve the other two flavors to keep up.

I’m often asked what Dad’s Bragging Rights tastes like. Its hard to describe, but my good friend Hoby Wedler wrote a description a while back which I think comes close.

If you bring this delicious blend of flavors of sweet heat, pepper and savory notes to share, you sure will have a lot to brag about. Created from a fun but competitive cook-off between father and daughter, father won the match with a delicious blend of spices, savory flavors, and a subtle but present kick of black pepper as you finish. This jerky is a classic to eat if you’re not afraid of a touch of spice but want a well-rounded, savory flavor when you’re on the go. You may notice a subtle sweetness which brings it alive. This jerky is great because you taste it while you eat it but it leaves nothing behind.
