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 Ted's Montana Grill report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
Does Ted's Montana Grill use beef tallow?
No. Ted's Montana Grill cooks with canola, high-oleic variety used for the fryer since a 2007 menu-wide trans-fat elimination (restaurantinformer.com); trout is pan-seared in olive oil per menu description, not beef tallow. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
