About SlantShack Jerky

SlantShack Jerky is a small, artisanal food company that’s dedicated to flavor, freshness, and customization. We've developed a series of unique marinades, spice rubs and glazes to create what we'd humbly posit to be an unprecedented jerky taste experience. Our product is lovingly crafted from high quality, all-natural ingredients by the good people at Vermont Highland Cattle Company in Orleans, VT. Because we make it to order, our jerky is much more tender and flavorful than your average store-bought brand.

What sets SlantShack Jerky apart (aside from its pure succulent deliciousness, of course) is the Build-a-Jerky Concept. Customers can choose grain- or grass-fed beef, and mix and match our signature marinades, glazes, and spice rubs to create their perfect jerky.

Since we opened for business in 2008, we've been named one of the Top Ten Jerkies in America by Maxim, given 5 stars by Best Beef Jerky, featured in The Atlantic, Thrillist, Tasting Table, and The Village Voice, and generally adored by customers throughout the land. We're confident that you'll love our jerky as much as we do…just make sure you get some before we eat it all.

The Histories
SlantShack Jerky was born from nine college degrees, a crooked roof, a dream, and a sprinkling of destiny. Or maybe it was at a family dinner in North Jersey where dehydrated meat was the main attraction. Or if you want to go way back, it began in the heart of a 12-year-old boy wishing for an unlimited supply of his favorite snack—Founder Joshua Kace has had a lifelong passion for meat treats. Add an empty stomach, a slightly slanted post-college apartment, a group of under-employed friends, and some late-night kitchen experimentation, and you have the makings of a beef jerky revolution.

After months of midnight dehydrating marathons and rave reviews from early taste-testers, Josh and friends realized they might be on to more than just a hunger-satisfying hobby, and decided to share their jerky innovations with the meat-loving masses.

Enter David Koretz, COO extraordinaire, who is now leading SlantShack's jerky revolution, ensuring that carnivores coast to coast have the opportunity to enjoy the exceptional meat treats they deserve.
