What oil does Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse fry in?
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse most likely fries in vegetable oil blend and canola oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: No fryer oil confirmed by any Del Frisco's or parent-company (Landry's Inc.) source; industry-default vegetable oil blend (canola/soybean) is assumed for the fryer, unconfirmed. The menu confirms a fryer is in use for Shanghai-Style Fried Calamari, beer-battered Thick-Cut Onion Rings, and Truffle French Fries, but no allergen/ingredient PDF, FAQ, or nutrition page names the oil. Steaks themselves are broiler-cooked at very high heat and butter-finished, not fried, so that portion of the fat is butter/rendered beef fat, not seed oil.

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 Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
