Coast is asking fry-lovers to submit a favorite restaurant that features beef tallow French fries by including the hashtag #BeefTallowFrenchFries and tag @CoastPackingCo, while adding enticing photos of the fries themselves.
No restaurant with tallow fries near you? No problem! Don an apron, break out the fryer and enter your own #BeefTallowFrenchFries Contest. See our easy recipe here: Beef Tallow French Fries. The most creative and tasty-looking entries have the best chance to win.
An initiative of The Healthy Fats Coalition, National Beef Tallow Day is a celebration of a traditional animal fat – pure beef tallow shortening – that has been enjoying a resurgence within America's food culture, in restaurants, fast food operations and home kitchens. Because beef tallow is a delicious (and healthier) way to cook French fries, Coast is hungry for posts extolling beef tallow French fries on offer.
More and more, restaurants are re-discovering beef tallow as a medium for preparing French fries. The color, texture, and umami that beef tallow imparts to fried foods make it a vastly superior alternative to heavily processed, industrially produced substitutes.
This year's prize lineup is tailor-made for home cooks:
"For diners and home cooks, the message of our contest is simply, 'beef tallow makes for a better French fry,'" said Greg Hozinsky, Coast Packing Corporate Chef. "By any (and every) measure, beef tallow sets the standard for how a fried potato should taste. One bite is all it takes."
No purchase necessary. Contest open to legal residents of the USA, 13+. Entries accepted from July 13 until July 27, 2024. Winners will be announced on August 6, 2024.
