NOTE
This post isn't intended to be a re-hash of my previous post which is a discussion about local, grass-fed beef. If you're interested in reading more about local, grass-fed beef, you might want to check out that link. However, I will note that my rationale for eating grass-fed beef, and eating it in moderation, has been influenced by environmental concerns and publications such as UW Extension's Guide to Grass-Fed Beef, which, among other findings, relates the following table regarding nutrition:

REETSY'S GRASS-FED BURGER LIST
I rarely eat beef or beef burgers these days. When I want to go out for a beef burger, or when my husband says it's time for a burger and a beer, I want a list of restaurants that serve grass-fed beef burgers so I know where to go.
In my search for a list,
I discovered no such list,
so this blog post will be my list
(and yours, if you want) .
I will update it continually, and use it as a resource. For that reason, I welcome comments regarding Twin Cities restaurants I may have missed, or restaurants who are no longer serving said locally sourced, grass-fed beef burger(s).

French Meadow has a yummy grass-fed burger, but I don't recall the source...
ReplyDeleteFat L Celiac - They do, and the beef comes 1000 Hills most often, but sometimes it's from Grass Run Farm.
ReplyDeleteBarley John's offers a Thousand Hills burger (be sure to specify grass-fed).
ReplyDeleteAlso mendoberri in Mendota Heights.
ReplyDeleteBistro 11 in Loretto (west of wayzata) serves delicious grass fed burgers from Ridgeroll Farms in Buffalo
ReplyDeleteIs the intention here to track beef that is 100% grass fed? Because all beef is grass fed to some degree.
ReplyDeleteRidgeroll Farms is *not* 100% grass fed according to their website.

Kari - I'm trying to go as grass-fed as possible, understanding that some producers grain finish their beef.
ReplyDeleteIf the beef is not finished grass-fed it has no vitamin K2 (think Weston Price Foundation). Your nutritional information would be greatly effected by the amount of grain finishing and the age of the cow. If its not 100% grass-fed I just consider it a trip to McDonald's.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I know this is an old blog post but it shows up when searching for "grass-fed hamburgers Minneapolis"
