What oil does Cosmos Bar & Grill fry in?
Cosmos Bar & Grill cooks with No disclosure found. Cosmos Bar & Grill (Laredo, TX, single location) publishes no nutrition panel, no allergen sheet and no ingredient statement on its site, ordering menu, catering page or social accounts, and no press coverage names its fryer oil, so the fryer is scored on the US industry-default soybean/canola blend under the higher-PUFA-wins rule. The only fat the restaurant names in writing is olive oil, in the Tiradito de Ribeye, Tiradito de Tuna and Cucumber Tomato Salad descriptions; the menu's many mayo-based sauces (chipotle, remoulade, wasabi mayonnaise, thousand island, ranch, Caesar, coleslaw) are scored as soybean mayo. Every value for this chain is an estimate..

Why 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 Cosmos Bar & Grill report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
