#6. Dzuik’s Meat Market, Castroville, TX

I swear by this place. Yummy for the tummy!!!

Dzuik’s is a first-class small town meat market, as sterile as a hospital. Dzuik’s is located in the small Alsatian town of Castroville, just 20 minutes west of San Antonio on Highway 90. Like jerky? Dzuik’s is the absolute best for beef jerky (slab style or thin), turkey jerky, dried sausage, salami, and snack sticks. They make REAL jerky, not at all like that sweetened flavored junk you find at convenience stores. And their fresh meat counter is also tops! You can even order stuff on line from their website at http://www.dziuks.com/ .

Hours are 8 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday.

When you are there tell them about “365 Things To Do In the Texas Hill Country” and maybe they will drop an extra ring of dried sausage in my bag next time!
