Transforming a Golf Course Friendship Into A Deliciously Innovative Business Model - Dennis Riedel / Chef's Cut Real Jerky
Ex-Mini Tour player Dennis Riedel was caddying alongside good friend Chef Blair Swiler when Blair shared his homemade jerky with him. Real cuts of moist, delicious premium beef, right there on the golf course, was all Dennis needed to realize this was their entrepreneurial AHA moment. And with some convincing, Chef Blair shared his recipe and the pair began smoking and selling Chef’s Cut Real Jerky Co® to golf and country clubs across the US.
