#NationalJerkyDay on June 12th each year celebrates the rich history, immense popularity and nutritional benefits of dried meat snacks, according to the Internet (so it must be true). The word “jerky” is derived from the Spanish word charqui, which came from the Quechua (a Native South American language) word ch’arki, which means to burn (meat).
Closer to home flattrack fans may remember Bubba Shobert's Lone Star Beef Jerky. Established 1981 in Lubbock, Texas, by Mr. Donnie Shobert, who found a passion for creating high quality, handcrafted smoked meats. Don never veered from the beloved original recipe and quality that created the love between his product and meat lovers around the world. In 1970, Donnie’s son Bubba pursued a professional racing career going on to be one of the most successful American motorcycle racers in history.
Lone Star Beef Jerky’s original handcrafted beef jerky returned in 2019 at the hands of Bubba’s son Clint Shobert and his wife Kristin Shobert, as they continue to create the beloved west Texas treat in Palm Harbor, Florida.
