Exotic Jerky Delivered in New York City: Gator, Kangaroo, Bison and Elk by Mail

New York City has every food on earth and, as far as we can tell, no table with alligator, kangaroo and elk jerky on it. We do not set up in the five boroughs; the Edison fly-fishing show in January is the closest we get. The rest of the year the city gets the mail-order version, about two days from Albany.

~150 mi: Albany to Manhattan
2 days: typical USPS transit
3 oz: vacuum-packed exotics
$100+: free shipping

Apartment food: shelf-stable, no fridge space

Every exotic we carry is a 3 oz vacuum pack that lives in a cabinet, not a refrigerator, which matters in a kitchen with one shelf. Kangaroo is the city's first order more often than not, the leanest meat on the table; Alligator is second, and the what alligator jerky tastes like guide is the page people read before they commit. The is beef jerky gluten-free guide covers which bags are labeled gluten-free and which are not.

The dare gift and the office bag

Half the orders to Brooklyn and Manhattan are gifts for the person who has tried everything: a Build Your Own 3-Pack with kangaroo, Smoked Duck Breast and a Carolina Reaper bag, for $70. The other half are office bags, where a 7 oz Korean BBQ Brisket or Teriyaki Brisket reseals and lasts the week. The big bag vs snack bag guide is the price-per-ounce math against the bodega pouch.
