What oil does Aspen Creek Grill fry in?
Aspen Creek Grill most likely cooks with soybean and canola oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: No chain-specific oil source found; industry default assumed (soybean/canola blend, typical for this segment). Fryer use is heavy and confirmed: crispy pickle chips, fried mushrooms, boneless wings, hand-breaded Pow Wow shrimp, country fried chicken/pork/steak, chicken tenders, fried catfish, fish & chips, onion rings, french fries, and fried cheesecake for dessert. Steaks and ribs are grilled/smoked separately (low-PUFA animal fat there), but the fryer carries most of the appetizer and entree menu.

Build my orderWhy the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Aspen Creek Grill report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
