A restaurant claiming "grass-fed" on a review site or a food blog often doesn't say the same thing on its own current menu. We check every listing directly, restaurant by restaurant, dish by dish where that's all that's confirmed, and we say exactly what's backed up and by whom. Some cities have a deep bench of confirmable claims; others genuinely don't, and we'd rather ship a short, honest list than pad a page with claims that don't hold up.

Most of the menu is confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised, per the restaurant's own site.
One or more specific items are confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised, not the whole menu.
A single dish is confirmed, or sourcing is only confirmed via named press.
