COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Jerky lovers, here’s something new from some familiar faces: Brave Experience Jerky, Bites & Sticks, super healthy snacks created by Weston and Jodi Clark, hosts of the Discovery Channel’s “The Experience.” The series, which aired two seasons, honored men and women who served in the military, firefighting, police or health care by taking them on a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor adventure.
Weston, who grew up in Wyoming, was an outfitter for hunters 20 years. His father had been in the meat business since 1933 and made seasonings for the meat industry.
“We use celery juice powder instead of nitrates,” Weston said. “Celery has a very high concentration of natural nitrates.”
His dad’s seasoning recipe goes on beef that is “100 percent American made, from conception to consumption,” he said.
The jerky is available online at brave-experience.com. There are four flavors: original, honey, peppered, and sweet and spicy.
