Why We Use Beef Tallow (and Never “Dead Oils”) at Farm To Smash

At Farm To Smash, we don’t just care about how our food tastes — we care about how it fuels your body. That’s why we fry our fresh-cut fries in beef tallow, not industrial seed oils (aka what we call “dead oils”).

Here’s why it matters:

1. Dead Oils are Ultra Processed

Most restaurants use vegetable oils like soybean, canola, or corn oil. These oils are chemically extracted, bleached, and deodorized — which strips out any natural nutrients and leaves behind oxidized fats.

That’s why we call them “dead oils” — because there’s nothing alive or healthy about them.

2. Tallow is Real Food

Beef tallow is rendered from grass-fed or grain-finished cattle fat. It’s a traditional fat that humans have cooked with for generations. No chemical processing. Just heat, strain, and store.

3. Tallow is Packed with Nutrients

Unlike dead oils, beef tallow contains:

• Vitamins A, D, E, and K

• Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) - a natural fat that may help reduce inflammation

• Healthy saturated fats that support hormone and brain health

4. It Just Tastes Better

Let’s be honest: tallow just makes food taste richer, crisper, and more satisfying. Our fries don’t get soggy or greasy— they come out golden, flavorful, and unapologetically crave-worthy.

At Farm to Smash, we’re bringing back real fats and real flavor — because your food shouldn’t come with a side of industrial slugdge.

No Seed oils. No Shortcuts. Just smash burgers and fries done the old-school way.
