What stores has the best Jerky ?

[leech~~]

What meat stores have you tried that has the best Jerky? I will have to say that I have sampled Jerky just about all over the state everytime I see a meat store, and the best I have had is Osseo meats. Followed close behind would be Petty Bro's. The worst McDonalds in Clear lake! Thin, hard to chew, and tasteless!

[CarpKing921]

Hedbergs in Lake Elmo I think thats what its called

[The_Duckslayer]

Mine, of course, is the BEST! Pat's Meat market in Lonsdale has some great jerky as well as lots of other goodies. Mrfish have to concur the jerky at Von Hansens is pretty good stuff as well. Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

I just made some geese and a deer round into jerkey last week. That to me is the best. Favorite meat market has to be schmidt's in nicollet though.

It's Hagberg's. And yes, it is very good.

If you ever get close to Grand Forks stop in at L&M Meats on South Washington. Best of the Best. The owner is a avid outdoorsmen who spends more nights in his fish house than in his own bed at home during the winter.

McDonald's Meats in Clear Lake

Cant beat it

McDonalds meats makes good jerky and awesome brats. Their Pineapple brats are the best brats I've ever had.

[croixflats]

Brines meat market in stillwater. Its been a while but that stuff melted in your mouth.

McDonald's Meats in Clear Lake

Bigs, hate to differ, but I have tried McDonalds in Clear Lake about 3 times over the years for Jerky. Thin tasteless shoe leather is the only word that comes to mind!! They have good meat and brats, and I do see they have won some ribbons at the fair, but their Jerky ick!

Thielen's in Little Falls is pretty good. They have great bacon too.

Can't argue here. Brine's is very good.

[SrBrits]

hey,

ditto's on L&M in grand forks,

best jerky anywhere, and many other products also.

Another vote for Osseo meat market on 81 just off of 169. Great jerky and lots of other stuff. Plus they sell Heggie's frozen pizza.

Schroeders in New Germany is great. So is Ittel's in Howard Lake. When my oldest son was in Afganistan, the jerky sold at the base was bad. He thinks he knows what they did with camels that wandered into the minefields. We tried to put Ittel's jerky in every care package we sent. His friends there would watch for his packages to arrive and find an excuse to visit him.

Have you noticed that all the great butcher shops have German names??

[toughguy]

Greg's Meats in Hampton is good too.

[Mid-Lake Rock]

Mackenthun's in St. Boni or Schmidt's Meat Market in Nicollet.

I second the vote for Ittels. While you're there pick up a ring of the Winsted bologna. There is none better. The recipe is the original from many years ago. Just remember it tastes best if it is eaten fresh and cold. If you freeze it, it gets a little watery.
