Meat goes clean on menus everywhere

From the red meat perspective, Burger King made a splash last year with its award-winning Clean Label Whopper promotion, in which the chain adapted the familiar label found on supermarket packaged goods to reveal the ingredients in the signature sandwich and to underscore its lack of artificial additives, MSG and high-fructose corn syrup. Other operators tout the breed and/or the producer of their meats, as with summertime specials like the BLT Ranch Angus Thickburger from sibling chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardees or the Campfire Burger topped with house-made potato chips from Mooyah Burgers, Fries and Shakes that joins a line of fresh certified Angus beef burgers. [...]while Rock Bottom Restaurants and Breweries built its business on beer, it lures patrons in with innovative, scratch-made snacks like the new Wagyu blue cheese-stuffed olives with a sweet-smoky glaze. Elevation Burgers elevates its bill of fare with 100% grass-fed organic beef patties in its East Coast locations, while in the West, Modern Market Eatery’s diners can enjoy grass-fed steak in specialties like the chipotle steak sandwich with balsamic-charred onions and chipotle mayo.
