I just got back home to Washington State after a 2 1/2 month road trip. While in Albuquerque I stopped at Costco for a resupply. Beef Jerky was on my list. A nice lady was giving out samples. I tried the red chile and lemon pepper recipes. At first I was a little surprised by how dry it was. But after savoring it for 30 seconds, the flavor hit me like a stampede! I used it in many camp recipes to add beef and spice to beans and rice. Really easy to just crush it; as you would many other spices.

Read moreTerrible Customer Service - I recently ordered from Vigil Beef Jerky because I really enjoyed their product - I made an online order and it never made it to my house - contacted the Postal Service who told me to contact Vigil Beef and then Vigil Beef told me I could write a claim to get my money back from the post office - contacted the Post Office again who told me there was no insurance - contacted the Vigil Beef again - hoping to get some kindness or resolution - what I got was animosity - the manager said what makes you think Vigil Beef should be responsible for getting your order to you - it's the federal government's fault your package did not make it to you. And continue on from there - ok - so I will never buy your product again if you can't guarantee I'll receive it. And thank you for absolutely minus customer service - it was was a very...
