Short answer
25 places in Nebraska are reported to cook without seed oils: 20 cook with animal fats or fruit oils — beef tallow, lard, duck fat, ghee, butter, olive, avocado or coconut oil, 5 fry in peanut oil. Each entry reflects what the venue has been reported to use rather than an inspection, so call ahead before you rely on it.

Frying in peanut oil
Peanut is a legume rather than a seed, so peanut-oil fryers appear on most seed-oil-free lists. The oil is still roughly a third linoleic acid, and opinion in the seed-oil-free community is genuinely split on it — which is why these venues are counted separately here rather than folded into the number above.

What to ask before you order
A kitchen can change supplier without changing its menu, and a venue that roasts in tallow may still fry in something else. Four questions settle it in about ten seconds:
- What do you fry in? — the fryer is where the volume is, and it is often a different fat from the grill.
- Is the dressing or sauce made in house? — bought-in dressings and mayo are almost always canola or soybean.
- Are the buns or tortillas baked here? — bakery goods are a common hidden source.
- Do you cook the vegetables in butter or oil? — the answer is frequently a blend.
How to read this list. Each entry reflects what the venue has been reported to cook with. It is not a certification, nobody has inspected these kitchens on your behalf, and menus and suppliers change — treat it as a shortlist to call, not a guarantee. The four questions above are worth asking even when a place is listed here.
