We've compiled a running list of dining establishments in Joliet, IL where you can sample different dishes made with healthy animal fats, such as lard and/or beef tallow. We will eventually include establishments all around the U.S., so if you've got a favorite restaurant that puts lard or beef tallow on the menu, drop us an email at info@coastpacking.com and we will gladly add it to our listing. Or you can post an image or link to the eatery via Twitter/Instagram/Pinterest with the hashtag #LardOnTheMenu or #TallowOnTheMenu and we will be sure to include those as well!
