Coast Packing Launches 8th Annual #BeefTallowFrenchFries Contest

In a delightful celebration to honor National French Fries Day and Beef Tallow Day, Coast Packing Company has kicked off its 8th Annual #BeefTallowFrenchFries Contest. As the top supplier of animal fat shortenings in the Western U.S., this contest celebrates the crispy goodness of fries made using natural beef tallow.

The contest, which began on July 13 and runs until July 31, provides an exciting opportunity for both home cooks and restaurant enthusiasts to showcase their culinary creations. Whether you're creating homemade fries from freshly cut russets in your backyard or snapping photos of your favorite tallow-fried fries from a beloved local eatery, all it takes is one picture along with a passion for real, mouth-watering fries to enter.

Beef Tallow Day, inspired by the Healthy Fats Coalition, showcases the merits of pure beef tallow shortening, which has been gaining traction in American cuisine due to its robust flavor and health advantages. Known for enhancing taste, beef tallow is now recognized as an excellent choice for frying, especially for French fries. Coast Packing is thrilled to spotlight various fry dishes made with this rich fat across its social media platforms.

To participate in the contest, simply follow @CoastPackingCo on Instagram or X. Participants must post a picture of their frying masterpiece—whether cooked at home or ordered from a favorite restaurant—and tag it with #BeefTallowFrenchFries. Winners will be unveiled on or around August 13 on Coast Packing's website and social media channels.
