Steak ‘n Shake Asks Elon Musk for Tesla Chargers After He Praises Their Menu Change

Elon Musk praised a significant modification done by Steak ‘n Shake, leading to them asking for his endorsement (or appreciation), which they extended as a request to him.

Since its establishment in 1934 with the opening of its first location in Normal, Illinois, Steak ‘n Shake has expanded significantly, now boasting numerous outlets across the United States and Europe. The chain remains a vibrant part of the food industry.

The noteworthy aspect about them is their well-known Steakburgers and Milkshakes, with French Fries being another menu item offered by Steak ‘n Shake; these fries were once deep-fried using seed oil.

While seed oils are frequently utilized in restaurants, it’s important to note that they have been linked to causing inflammation within the body. Examples of such oils include canola, peanut, grapeseed, and corn oil.

Given the circumstances, Steak ‘n Shake opted for a change in their frying oil, choosing beef tallow – a distinctive type of oil derived from beef fat instead.

On February 21st, Steak ‘n Shake proudly announced that they are the first burger chain in America to use 100% Beef Tallow for their burgers, free of any chemicals or preservatives. This is what leading quality looks like!

This particular burger chain in the U.S. is now exclusively using 100% beef tallow for all their burgers, eschewing any chemical additives or preservatives. They’re committed to delivering nothing but superior quality – a true testament to leadership!

By March 1st, Steak ‘n Shake intends to adopt a policy where they’ll use beef tallow across all their restaurants for cooking purposes. Currently, their establishments located in Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Florida have already implemented this new frying technique.

Customers of Steak ‘n Shake are in agreement that it would be ideal for Elon Musk to set up charging stations in the restaurant’s parking lots, as they await his response regarding this matter.

Absolutely! Being a Tesla owner and a fan of burgers and fries, I’d choose Steak ‘n Shake one hundred percent of the time. From now on, it’s just Steak ‘n Shake for me – no more In-N-Out Burgers.

“Having chargers would absolutely make this a preferred stop,” said another.

Steak ‘n Shake isn’t the only restaurant chain making significant changes within the industry. Alongside this, McDonald’s offers a grilled chicken breast option boasting 30 grams of protein. In February 2025, TikToker ‘jacksonnadams’ shared that ordering a grilled chicken breast from McDonald’s offers similar taste and even more advantages compared to fried chicken.
