Think Jerky Sampler Pack

Think Jerky Sampler Pack — Jerky & Sticks (20 pieces)

This is the full Think Jerky format — bag jerky and meat sticks together, everything chef-crafted, nothing generic. Eight bags of flat jerky across four flavors, plus twelve meat sticks across three varieties. Whether you're grazing, gifting, or just trying to figure out which Think Jerky format you like better, this pack gives you a real answer.

The jerky side covers all four signatures: Classic Flavor Beef and Sesame Teriyaki Beef for the savory end, Sweet Chipotle Beef for the smoke-and-heat angle, and Sriracha Honey Turkey for something lighter with a balanced kick. The sticks are a different eating experience — tighter, snappier, built for on-the-go — and come in three varieties: Original Beef and Jalapeño Beef from Chef Doug Sohn and Chef Matt Troost respectively, both made with 100% grass-fed beef, plus Original Turkey from Michelin-Star, two-time James Beard Award winner Chef Gale Gand, built from 100% natural turkey with zero sugar and 8 grams of protein per stick. Everything in this pack is gluten-free, sugar-free on the sticks, no nitrites, no added hormones, no added antibiotics.

SELF called Think Jerky the "Healthiest Jerky." Men's Health called it "Jerky for Foodies." Eat This Not That named it "Best Jerky." That's a clean sweep across three different editorial standards. The credentials behind the recipes — Hot Doug's, a two-time BaconFest champion, a Food Network host with two James Beard Awards — aren't window dressing. They're why the flavor logic in every piece actually makes sense.

The Maker

Think Jerky is a Chicago-based brand that does one thing differently from everyone else in the category: they hand every recipe to a credentialed chef and get out of the way. The three chefs behind this pack — Doug Sohn, Matt Troost, and Gale Gand — each designed their flavors the same way they'd approach a restaurant menu item: with real ingredients, specific seasoning logic, and no shortcuts. It shows in the eating.

FAQ

What's the difference between the jerky bags and the meat sticks?
The jerky bags are flat-cut, marinated pieces with bolder flavor profiles and more complex seasoning. The sticks are denser, snappier, and built for grab-and-go eating — simpler seasoning, higher portability. Both formats use the same grass-fed beef and chef-crafted recipes.

Are the meat sticks spicy?
One of the three stick varieties has heat: the Jalapeño Beef Stick uses real jalapeño flakes and jalapeño powder for a clean pepper heat without a lot of sweetness. The Original Beef and Original Turkey sticks are savory with no significant spice.

Is everything in this pack gluten-free?
Yes. All jerky bags and all three stick varieties are gluten-free, with no added nitrites, hormones, or antibiotics across the board.

Is this a good gift?
It's a strong gift for anyone who takes food seriously — the chef credentials give it a story that goes beyond standard jerky gifting, and the format variety means there's something for different snacking moments. The sticks travel well; the jerky bags are more of a sit-down experience.

How long does everything keep?
All items are shelf-stable. Best consumed within a few days of opening any individual bag or stick. No refrigeration needed before opening.
