Sweetgreen
Bowl / Salad

Cooks in: Extra-virgin olive oil and avocado oil (roasted proteins/vegetables)

Sweetgreen switched to EVOO and avocado oil for roasted proteins and vegetables, per the CEO's public statement and reporting. Their own published Nutrition + Allergens Guide shows several dressings, including Balsamic Vinaigrette and Caesar, list sunflower oil as an ingredient, so dressings and toppings aren't covered by this claim. East Buffalo Street location.

Buffalo Wild Wings
Wings / Sports Bar

Cooks in: Beef shortening/tallow (fryer); most wet sauces contain soybean oil

Standard US sit-down locations have fried in beef shortening (100% beef tallow) since 2017, per the chain's own allergen documentation. The wings come out of the fryer clean; most wet sauces (Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Asian Zing) contain soybean oil, naked or dry-rub is the safer order. South 27th Street location.

Chick-fil-A
Fast Food / Chicken

Cooks in: 100% refined peanut oil (fryer)

Chick-fil-A's published ingredient documentation confirms the fryer runs on 100% refined peanut oil. Soybean oil still shows up in their sauces, crispy chicken breading, and buns, the clean claim stops at the fryer. Downtown location near Fiserv Forum.

Outback Steakhouse

Cooks in: Steaks cooked with butter (confirmed); Bloomin' Onion reportedly fried in tallow, not company-confirmed

Bloomin' Brands' VP of R&D confirmed on the record, "We cook our steaks with butter." The Bloomin' Onion's beef tallow fryer is widely reported by food outlets but has no named Outback source behind it, and there's no sourced claim for the fries. Greenfield location.
