Fast-Food Chains That Never Freeze Their Burgers

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! – Next time you’re in the mood for a fast-food burger and you want to sink your teeth into the best, consider heading to one of these chains where the beef is never frozen.

1. Hopdoddy

The chain uses all-natural beef that is free from hormones, steroids, and antibiotics and, of course, is never, ever frozen. The chain also takes its buns seriously, baking three types daily. In addition, its hand-cut fries feature Chipperbec potatoes, a variety it says is grown to be made into the best french fries.

While Hoppdoddy doesn’t have a large footprint, it is actively growing and seeking to expand. It currently has 50 locations in eight states.

2. Elevation Burger

Elevation Burger is one of the few fast-food spots that serves 100% USDA-certified organic ground beef in all its burgers. The chain even grinds its own beef in-house and hand-pats every burger before throwing it on the grill.

The chain takes pride in other ingredients, too, cutting its fries in-house every day and cooking them in heart-healthy olive oil. While the chain isn’t huge—it has a little over 30 locations concentrated in the Northeast—it is one of the healthiest burger chains out there.

4. Wendy’s

Wendy’s uses fresh, never-frozen beef, and the chain wants to make very certain you know that—the slogan is plastered all over the menu, blog, and advertising materials.

In fact, Wendy’s has been serving fresh beef since its founding in 1969, at least within the contiguous U.S. states, Alaska, and Canada. Sorry, Hawaii.

5. Smashburger

Smashburger seasons, smashes, and sizzles its meat, but never freezes it, at all of its over 200 locations …
