Chincoteague Island House of Jerky

Did you know that Chincoteague is host to the only House of Jerky on the Eastern Shore with the largest selection? Neither did I until the other day when I stopped by the Chincoteague Island House of Jerky on Maddox Blvd and spoke to the owner Denise & John McMillan. They opened in 2017 and business is going great. I have stopped by their location a few times and of course them participating in the Death by Chocolate and Search for the Shamrock weekends has given me a taste of some their tasty offerings.

Denise showed me around her store and I was so impressed with the different varieties of jerky that available now. Beef jerky is still their most popular, but there is jerky for just about every type of animal including some of the more exotic animals like python, kangaroo, camel, etc. For the vegan and vegetarian visitors to the island, she has jerky for you as well, both in fruit and vegetable varieties. She carries mushroom jerky in six different flavors along with four different fruit jerkies. She also has several different types of gluten free jerky. Oh and don't forget to take home some jerky for your four legged friend at home, she carries a special jerky just for your dog.

She also carries pickles (her garlic pickles are amazing, eating one now as I type), fried peanuts, pretzels, sauces, cheese stuffed hot peppers, salsa and tortilla chips. It is a great place to stop to get some snacks for the beach, host a party at your place or get creative and make a charcuterie board of jerky and snacks. You won't leave disappointed in the selections available. Their store is a unique place to stop to get your house or pet sitter a thank you gift.

If you can't make it to Chincoteague but want to try some of their selection give Denise or John a call and they will ship it to you. I highly recommend adding Chincoteague Island House of Jerky to your list of must visit stores while you are here. They are open all year long with reduced hours in the off season. They are currently open Monday thru Saturday from 10am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

I can't believe I am doing this

 Hi everyone, I have never created a blog before, but I have felt called to do this one. I started coming to Chincoteague in 1982 when my parents bought a place at Trails End. I hate to admit this, but the 17 year old me did not instantly fall in love with Chincoteague. I was eaten alive by the mosquitoes and attacked by the green headed flies. One thing that I always did love about Chincoteague was the dining. Oh I remember the Landmark Restaurant and Skippers All You Can Eat Seafood Buffet (I think they hated to see my family coming in the door). Island Creamery when it was Mr. Chocolates and their amazing ice cream and homemade waffle cones, oh and don't forget their fudge. Oh I remember all of the flavors. My dad loved to grab an oyster sandwich at the carnival or a bowl of New England clam chowder from Etta's (when it was where Mr. Baldy's is now). Oh those were the best days. I moved to Chincoteague in October 2019 and then the pandemic struck. I couldn't think of

 Hello Foodies, Sorry I go so busy once again and I am forgetting to share things here with you that I am sharing on Facebook. I will get that fixed here very soon. The biggest thing I do want to share and hope you can help us with is, the Beebe Farm, where Misty was raised is going up for sale and the Beebe Family has been given first dibs to the Museum of Chincoteague. The cost is $625,000 and needs to be raised pretty fast. I am sharing the link to the interview I did with Cindy Faith and if you are able to help, please do. This is a piece of Chincoteague's history that we can't lose. https://youtu.be/dLAvCFNvTwI

Welcome back for another blog about All Things Food on Chincoteague Island, VA. Well we are officially in our busy season and the island has come back to life with visitors, tourists and locals headed out to eat some of the best food ever on our beautiful island paradise.  Chincoteague has so many options for food but this week's post is one that is near and dear to my heart. When my friend Carmen and I started becoming regular visitors for the day in 2015 this food truck, now takeout restaurant was our go to, because from the first bite we fell in love. Our day trips to Chincoteague consisted of all day at the beach, early dinner at Pico Taqueria (to beat the dinner rush) and Island Creamery ice cream as we watched the sunset from Don Leonard Park and then it was back home to Seaford, DE until the next trip (usually the following week or two). This was our routine every trip without fail.  Pico Taqueria opened in the spring of 2015 as a food truck on Maddox Blvd and their populari
