A large explosion at a ConAgra food plant located in North Carolina results in two deaths, one missing person, and over 30 people either injured or burned. The explosion had caused a large portion of the roof to collapse on the 425,000 square foot facility which employs over 300 people. Initial rescue attempts were slowed due to smoke inhalation, ammonia leaks and dangerous debris, the fire was extinguished however roughly an hour and a half after the initial incident around 11:30 am on June 9th.
Although ConAgra foods is a major food manufacturer of several popular brands of products, this particular plant was the central location for the production of Slim Jim meat snacks and products. It had also been reported that the plant had passed there latest inspection with no reported violations, it was performed in July of 2008. Keep in mind however that since 2003, three out of eight inspections that were performed did find violations.
Now a popular question is…will there be a Slim Jim shortage? Yes, it has already been indicated that the result of this disaster will affect production of Slim Jim products. All signs indicate that full production capabilities won’t be back in full swing until this fall. So don’t be surprised if you see folks stocking up soon and your local groceries running low.

Chiles, spices, beans, and beef jerky…what do all of these have in common?
They all add some much needed intensity to your nachos.
Beef Jerky aficionados have found that if done properly, beef jerky does wonders when combined with nachos. First, it provides a level of flavor and heat intensity that other meats simply can’t provide. Second, since beef jerky is already cooked, all it takes is a little simmering to release all the wonderful flavors and tenderize at the same time. Last, but certainly not least, it makes any ordinary nacho dish a meat lovers delicacy.
You are heavily encouraged to try this dish with some tenders pieces of your favorite beef jerky, recommended is something nice and smoky flavored. If you’re working with the larger slabs of beef jerky, cut it into smaller and more manageable pieces before you begin.
Another helpful tip is to off-set the sometimes high in sodium beef jerky with low sodium tomatoes or other ingredients.
31-year-old David Gill of Middeltown, OH was nabbed by police shortly after trying to steal several bags of beef jerky and a entire box of candy bars from local gas station. The second one within the past few months alone. (see other beef jerky thief)
He allegedly got into an altercation with a store employee who accused him of concealing the stolen beef jerky and candy bars according to him trying to Butler County Sheriff’s Sgt. Chuck Laymon.
After knocking the store employee and fleeing the scene in a maroon Ford Explorer, Gill abandoned the vehicle, but was soon after captured inside an abandoned structure.
Whether the beef jerky was worth it or not, Gill was charged with attempted robbery, a first-degree felony, as well as obstructing official business and resisting arrest, according to Butler County Jail records.
Evidence indicates that although Gill does have a previous record of numerous offenses and misdemeanors this is his first beef jerky heist.

Brace yourself ladies and feast your eyes on the one-and-only Chewy Couture Handbag made from 100% beef jerky, minus the logo of course.
This ingenious idea comes from Art Center College of Design student Nancy Wu in Pasadena, CA. While it is clear for the reasoning behind making such a creative product (her college course), it isn’t yet clear why it was beef jerky inspired. Nevertheless, I absolutely love this one.
It’s master-craftswomanship at it’s finest. From the accurately chosen pressed beef jerky that yields a textured fabric look to the color that screams quality leather (get it?….leather). This was well thought out and perfectly engineered.
