Customers Thought Steak 'n Shake’s New Tallow Fries Were Seed Oil-Free—But Are They?
Steak 'n Shake just pulled off what seemed like a fast-food miracle—ditching industrial seed oils in favor of frying their famous shoestring fries in pure beef tallow. Customers cheered. Health-conscious foodies rejoiced. Even RFK Jr. gave them a shoutout. But now, the internet is buzzing with a new, less appetizing revelation: those golden, crispy fries might still be hiding a dirty little secret.
Steak 'n Shake's recent decision to transition from vegetable oil to 100% beef tallow for frying their signature shoestring fries has been celebrated by many, particularly those leading the MAHA movement. Their decision aligns with a growing trend among fast-food chains to revisit traditional cooking methods that offer superior taste and potential health benefits.
