What to ask before you order
A kitchen can change supplier without changing its menu, and a venue that roasts in tallow may still fry in something else. Four questions settle it in about ten seconds:
- What do you fry in? — the fryer is where the volume is, and it is often a different fat from the grill.
- Is the dressing or sauce made in house? — bought-in dressings and mayo are almost always canola or soybean.
- Are the buns or tortillas baked here? — bakery goods are a common hidden source.
- Do you cook the vegetables in butter or oil? — the answer is frequently a blend.
How to read this list. Each entry reflects what the venue has been reported to cook with. It is not a certification, nobody has inspected these kitchens on your behalf, and menus and suppliers change — treat it as a shortlist to call, not a guarantee. The four questions above are worth asking even when a place is listed here.
