Tag: Tallow fries

Back in 1990, McDonald's famously stopped using beef tallow to cook its french fries, a change that many believe altered the taste forever. Today, a growing number of fast-food chains are embracing beef tallow again, not always for their burgers but often for their beloved fried sides.

Decades ago, McDonald's famously used beef tallow for its popular fries before switching to vegetable oil in 1990, a change that sparked widespread debate. Today, a number of restaurants, from fast-casual joints to steakhouses, have either returned to or continue to use beef tallow for fries, offering that distinctive savory flavor many customers crave.
