Without jerky, the only thing to eat on road trips would be apple pies snatched off windowsills and pieces of the dashboard dipped in carburetor grease. Savor the smoky flavor of the road with today's Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of jerky at Smoking Gun Jerky on North 48th Street. These masters of meat marinate lean strips of beef for 24 hours in a deep-flavoring concoction until they transform into delectable jerky. The meats come in 16 different flavors and heat levels, shanking up at $24 per pound, with quarter-pound packages available for carnivores with smaller appetites. Satisfy basic cured-meat cravings with mild hickory flavor, appease nagging sweet teeth with honey barbecue, or scorch a disobedient tongue with Wild Fire or Ghost Pepper flavorings. Turkey and chicken jerky are available, as well as more exotic flavors such as red wine and corporate malfeasance. Free in-store samples make the meatsperience as smooth as Smoking Gun's meaty flavors.
