3. Gus’ Olancha Jerky – California
Gus started selling his specialty jerky in 1996 in Olancha, California, a very desolate location in the high desert and one of the last stops before you go into Death Valley National Park. Even with it’s far flung location, this famous jerky stand happens to see its fair share of travelers and celebrities throughout the year.

2. Woody’s Smokehouse – Texas
Woody’s Smokehouse was founded by Dudley “Woody” Wood. It all began when he moved to Centerville, Texas in 1975. Woody opened an independent grocery store and processed meat for deer hunters in a smokehouse he opened next to the store. The popularity of his special recipes and techniques led him to open the first Woody’s Smokehouse on Interstate 45. A few years later, Woody opened a second store just across the highway. The smokehouse has since become famous for the flavorful meats of all types.
