Coke or Pepsi?

We all know soda isn’t exactly the healthiest thing for us. But at Beef & Bird, we’ve made a conscious decision not to carry beverages made with high-fructose corn syrup.

We look at it as a small step toward harm reduction. But just as importantly, we believe it tastes better!

Some of you may be old enough to remember the famous Pepsi Challenge, when Coca-Cola and Pepsi were battling for the title of king of the colas.

Interestingly enough, during that same era, both companies began moving away from real cane sugar in favor of high-fructose corn syrup. Somewhere along the way, we think soda lost a little of its magic.

Well, we’ve worked hard to bring something back.

There’s just something about drinking an ice-cold soda from a glass bottle. Combine that with real sugar, and we think it brings back the original “POP” in soda pop!

Now you can enjoy both Coca-Cola and Pepsi in glass bottles, made with real sugar, right here at Beef & Bird.

We’re curious what you think. Does soda taste better from a glass bottle? Can you taste the difference between real sugar and high-fructose corn syrup? And the real question, Coke or Pepsi?

Let us know. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

There is a reason our chicken doesn’t taste like everyone else’s. We use better chicken and fry in chemical free beef tallow, it’s that simple.

We can’t tell you why everyone else doesn’t fry in beef tallow (maybe because it costs almost double). But we can tell you why we do.

1. It doesn’t break down under high heat, (which is why you never smell that “dirty fryer smell when you walk in). No oxidation means healthier oil.

2. Flavor. We believe our food tastes better. (McDonald’s wouldn’t add beef seasoning to their fries for nothing) . Maybe we’re just partial to beef flavor, but we believe it makes our fries and chicken just taste better.

3. And on the science end we have to get technical. After using beef tallow for what will be over 2 years (including 1886 Prime) we have come to understand the composition of the fat. Not all fats were created equal and not all fats are bad for you. In fact certain fats contain health benefits. The process for obtaining beef tallow is very different compared to a vegetable oil like canola or sunflower oil. There is minimal processing for beef tallow, no chemicals are used in ours. It’s a steam process that gets our tallow refined to separate any metas from the fat. With seed oils many chemicals and bleach are used to extract the small amounts of oil within the vegetable.

“Tallow features a high concentration of stearic acid (which supports cellular energy) and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). CLA is a natural polyunsaturated fat known for its anti-inflammatory properties.”

“Rich in Fat-Soluble Vitamins
Tallow naturally contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2. Frying with a nutrient-dense animal fat actually aids your body in absorbing these essential vitamins during digestion”

We believe in beef tallow and have built our business around it.

Have you tried our Cold Shoulder yet?

Our fresh baked bread with our thin sliced beef (roasted daily in house) Your choice of dressing (caramelized onion mayo is our favorite) blue cheese horseradish is an option. Pepper-jack cheese, organic spring mix, thin sliced red onion (we skipped it ).

Definitely full after the second half, we think it’s a winner. Let us know what you think in the comments (we may have a door prize for you if you do 👀)

Our Apple Crisp Bread Pudding has really taken off since we started making it, and we feel like every batch keeps getting better.

With this batch, you’ll notice apples baked right into the bread pudding itself, along with even more apples in the topping.

We finish it with our homemade crumb topping , no oats (we’re just not fans of that style of crisp) and when you order, we top it off with fresh whipped cream.

Apple Crisp Bread Pudding. Made in-house and getting better every time we make it. 🍏 🍎
