You know what would make Steak and Shake great again? Biglari selling the chain to someone with the slightest clue on how to operate a restaurant chain. He decided to compete with McDonald’s with his upmarket brand and the litany of closed locations is a testimony to his, ahh, talents.
You want good food? Go to Freddy’s or Culver’s.
Yes!
I think he wanted to compete with Rally’s, which is even lower than McD’s. Just when fast casual was becoming a thing, he decided to chase rock-bottom pricing and food. Brillant!
Amen!
Good for them. Glad they are making food a little healthier for all.
And you know this because…?
Beef tallow, while a source of some vitamins and beneficial fatty acids, is not generally considered healthy due to its high saturated fat content. Saturated fat, found in beef tallow, can contribute to increased cholesterol levels, potentially raising the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. RFK’s “experts” are in denial over such facts.
By absolutely no extent is this “healthier.” Good lord.
I wish steak and she didn’t think this was a political move. I just spent a week in Belgium, where all the fries are fried in beef tallow. The story was World War I GIs met French speaking Belgium’s from Flanders and brought back french fries to the United States. They were all fried in beef tallow and still are to this day.
Biglari took a popular classic restaurant chain with a good menu and table service and turned it into Greasy spoon food trucks without wheels ! Now crediting RFK Jr. with a way to profit from the waste grease .
I officially ended my trips to Steak and Shake this last winter. I haven’t missed it at all.
Should consumers have options? Is beef tallow truly healthier? A boon for the beef industry? What will Make America healthy again? So will beef tallow reduce obesity? Will high fructose corn syrup be removed [from oh so many products]? Will the US produce healthy bread, for example, free from harmful preservatives. Will prohibition be introduced [again]? Should smoking be banned entirely? Which other measures might be proposed to MAHA?
Beef tallow makes for crispier fries! There is a slight difference in taste, maybe for the better. As long as fries is only one meal a week, I suspect the health risks are minimal.
They’re bankrupt and just grasping at straws at this point…
Biglari should be banned from the restaurant business for what he did to Steak And Shake !
Freddy’s has shown how smash burgers and shoestring fries like Steak n Shake’s can be successfully marketed. Steak n Shake has tried to follow by ending their table service, but their poor management has bungled these attempts. During our last visit to a Steak n Shake two customers chewed out the manager, who pleaded throughout our visit about having only one employee working that day. I felt for him, but after experiencing the negative atmosphere, we doubt we’ll go to Steak n Shake any time soon.
