Cooking with Care: Why AJ’s Burgers Chose Better Oils
At AJ’s Burgers in New Rochelle, we believe great food should taste amazing and make you feel good. That’s why we made an important change in our kitchen: we no longer use seed oils. Instead, we proudly cook with beef fat (tallow), avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil—because your health matters to us.
Many common seed oils are highly processed and refined using chemicals and high heat, which can strip away nutrients and create unstable fats. When heated, these oils can oxidize easily, contributing to inflammation and other health concerns. We didn’t feel comfortable serving ingredients that don’t align with how we care for our community.
Beef tallow, avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil are time-tested, minimally processed fats. Beef tallow is a traditional cooking fat that’s stable at high heat and full of natural flavor. Avocado oil has a high smoke point and contains heart-healthy fats, while extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and known for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
This switch wasn’t about following trends—it was about doing what’s right. From our burgers to our Italian dishes, every decision we make in the kitchen is guided by quality, transparency, and care for our customers. When you eat at AJ’s Burgers, you’re not just getting homemade food—you’re getting food made with intention.
Your health, comfort, and trust mean everything to us, and we’re proud to serve New Rochelle with food you can feel good about.
