Austin, we need to talk about a gap in your personality.
You have the best beef in America. You'll queue two hours for brisket like it's a religious rite — because it is. You run the Butler Trail at Lady Bird Lake at 6am, you read ingredient labels like contracts, you support every weird local food project that shows up in a parking lot. You are, objectively, the perfect biltong city.
And yet: almost no biltong. I love biltong. Texas loves beef. Somehow these two facts had never properly met. That's the entire reason Billi Tong's exists.
Exhibit A: You already worship slow meat
Brisket takes twelve hours and you call it culture. Biltong takes days and doesn't even need the fire — vinegar, salt, coriander, moving air, patience. If low-and-slow is your love language, biltong is the dialect you haven't learned yet. Here's exactly how it's made.
Exhibit B: You read labels
This is the city that made "what's in it?" a greeting. Biltong's answer: grass-fed beef, vinegar, salt, coriander, black pepper. Five natural ingredients. Protein-packed, 0g sugar, keto and paleo by birth, not by marketing department. The gas-station beef jerky can't survive this conversation.
Exhibit C: The 3pm office crisis
Austin runs on offices full of smart people eating sad snacks. We deliver monthly biltong to Austin offices — hand-delivered by the founder, free tasting box first, cancel with a text.
Exhibit D: You like food with a face
Every Austin order is hand-delivered by me, Calvern Tong — usually with an opinion about which flavour you should've ordered. You can hunt down bagged biltong at spots like a Texas Farmers' Market at Mueller or a specialty grocer, but you won't get the person behind the brand standing at your door. Try getting that from a national label.
Biltong near me: what Austin actually has
Search "biltong near me" and you'll discover the USA options fall into three buckets: national brands on a shelf (shelf-stable, but months old), a couple of specialty shops with a bag or two in the back, and us — the local product built around freshness. We keep the variety tight on purpose: The Classic for purists, Hill Country Heat for people who like their snack bold. Premium quality, one cut at a time, in a 4oz, 8oz, or 16oz pack — and delivery prices that don't punish you for living north of the river.
