DeeDee's Jerky Legacy Lives On | Santa Fe News
Description
A beloved Española staple, DeeDee’s Finest Beef Jerky, is now in new hands—but the legacy lives on. After 25 years of handcrafted, small-batch jerky from her home kitchen, DeeDee Vigil is stepping back, and her friend Pablo Lujan has stepped in to keep the tradition alive. Lujan bought the whole operation—including recipes and equipment—and promised to keep it rooted in Española. He’s honoring DeeDee’s signature thin cuts and bold local flavors, like the spicy Caribe Chile and popular teriyaki jerky. With plans to source more local beef and grow the business, Lujan’s mission is clear: preserve this cherished piece of northern New Mexico’s food culture. Find it at farmers’ markets, fairs, and online at deedeesfinestbeefjerky.com.
