Side Project Beef Jerky – Gluten-Free Ethiopian Inspired Jerky, Sweet Heat & Citrus, High Protein, Chef Crafted & Born in Philly – Berbere Flavor

A Unique Jerky Eating Experience Crafted By Chefs. It dates back all the way to our first collaboration with Chef Sean Magee, whose idea to perfectly encapsulate the joy of eating a delicious bowl of pho was brought to life through a recipe featuring a signature blend of herbs and spices. Chef Jonathan Adams has always had an affinity for the Great American West — complete with cowboys and the smell of deliciously smoky, barbecue. Combining Rival Bros Whistle & Cuss blend with ingredients such as smoked paprika and balsamic vinegar, Chef Jonathan Adams replicates the sweet, smoky flavor of burnt ends. Most recently, during our collaboration with Chef Jen Carroll, she opened our eyes to the magic of Berbere spice blend. Endlessly versatile and delicious, her Ethiopian-inspired creation packs sweet heat and citrus. Born In PHILA. With a mission to honor cuisines from around the world, we have had the pleasure to collaborate with some of Philadelphia’s most passionate and talented arbiters of food. Each of our core flavors was born out of a constant curiosity to understand and honor other cultures from places near and far, starting with a blank canvas of beef. Side Project Jerky has served as a creative outlet and culinary muse. Preserving the magic of what we discovered in the test kitchen, and bringing it to the products that are now available nationwide is something we take great pride in. Bringing that consideration and creativity to beef jerky allows us to create the best representation of a place in portable snack form. Most of all, we aim to expand people’s palates beyond your standard jerky offerings. Come along with us, Live Well, Eat Jerky.

• Did Someone Say Berbere? – Say hello to our latest delectable collaboration. After a year of perfecting the flavor and the texture, we are proud to team up with Chef Jen Carroll to bring you an Ethiopian-inspired flavor that packs sweet heat and citrus into every mouthwatering bite…let’s just say that this isn’t your grandfather’s jerky. 

  
  

• Only The Good Stuff – That’s right, just plain and simple goodness, and none of the stuff that you’ll need a dang doctorate’s degree to pronounce…Beef, tamari, berbere spice (chiles, ginger, garlic, coriander, cardamom, basil), and kosher salt combine to provide mouthwatering flavor.
