October's Very Best Foodie Finds

I'm not typically a beef jerky fan, but I devoured a bag of Uncle Andy's Boise's Mushroom Blue Cheese Beef Jerky (from $7, via Kickstarter) in one sitting. Supersavory thanks to the trio of umami-rich foods — beef, blue cheese, and mushrooms — it also brings the cheese's characteristic twang (something I can't get enough of). If you'd like to try a bag yourself, contribute to its Kickstarter campaign by Oct. 14.
