When we were kids, wrestlers were gods. So when Macho Man Randy Savage told us to "snap into it," we rode our bikes to the nearest convenience store and stocked up on Slim Jims. Nowadays we know it's all fake, and former champs have become truth-seeking pundits and paramours of George Clooney.

Dickson's Farmstand Meats uses the real stuff to make its Slim Jakes and flavored jerky ($15 / half-pound). The former start with pastured-raised beef, which gets spiced and stuffed into lamb casings, then smoked for seven hours. The jerky has been cured with salt and pepper until it curls into a dark brown flavor nugget. It's nonstop chewy meatiness, with nary a unitard or legging in sight. Snap into 'em!
