Ed Rome, the Jerky-Master

For those who are “in the know,” you all realize that Ed (a.k.a ChileheadEd) makes some mighty fine jerky. I was privileged enough to try a sliver of his uber-hot The Source jerky during the Jungle Jim’s show, courtesy of the esteemed DK. Well, since then I was able to get on the exclusive list of those who’ve received a care package of beef jerky for their own consumption. As you can see from the picture above, now I have my own sample of The Source jerky so I can torment my tastebuds with searing capsaicin heat whenever I want.

I haven’t tried the Jersey Death since it first came out some time ago, so it will be interesting to see how this translate to spicy jerky. Undoubtedly, it will be moist and chewy slice of capsaicin hell.

Pure Poison is a sauce that I haven’t even tried, although I think I have a bottle of it somewhere in my collection of mega-hot sauces. As soon as I rip one of these open and give it a try, I’ll be sure to report on the findings. Stay tuned for more about this…with pictures!

Those look like a mighty good time. I wish I had known of this when I met DK at JJ’s, perhaps next year I’ll get a sample if he’s there!

Hey Joe, thanks for the flashbacks!
;)
INCaneFan, just email Ed. I’m all out. He’s got an even hotter version he’s made now with twice the amount of The Source in it. It was passed around at FMK much to the delight of a few chileheads! LOL!! I’m not sure if I’m up to the challenge again. That’s some seriously hot jerky! Ed’s the man!

Joe, try the Pure Poison, it is not that hot and has a great flavor, it is one of the best jery’s I made. The Jersey Death is edible and packs a pretty good kick. The Source….well, maybe I should have labeled it “Not for Human Consumption!”
I just play around with jerky to keep busy in the winter…I am working on my 07 release of RedRum Hot Sauce now…wait till you see what I have in store this year!
