Poag Mahone’s

Serves Animal Welfare Approved beef from American Grassfed Beef in Doniphan, MO (www.americangrassfedbeef.com) Poag Mahone’s Carvery and Ale House is a staple of the Chicago dining scene, known for its commitment to green practices and charming saloon aesthetic. Located in historic downtown Chicago, the restaurant has made a name for itself though its sustainable philosophy – and tasty burgers. Made with Animal Welfare Approved beef from American Grassfed Beef, Poag Mahone’s legendary burger has been named as one of the best burgers in America by Oprah Winfrey, and GQ magazine declared Poag Mahone’s as serving one of the “Top Twenty Burgers You Must Eat Before You Die.” The person behind the burger is Dan Rosenthal, owner-operator of the Rosenthal Group which owns Poag Mahone’s — along with the Sopraffina Marketcafe and the Michelin-rated Trattoria No. 10 (also in Chicago). All three restaurants are part of the Green Chicago Restaurant Co-op, an organization dedicated to greening the Chicago restaurant community through green purchasing assistance, educational initiatives, and the “Guaranteed Green” certification program. High animal welfare is part of Rosenthal’s definition of “green,” and he is proud to be serving meat that bears the AWA label. “There’s no question that the treatment of animals is one of the top priorities that we’re seeking in the continuation of our purchasing program,” says Rosenthal. He adds, “It’s not only the humane treatment of the animal, but what the animal is fed and what impact the farming system has on the environment and the quality of the meat people are consuming. AWA certification gives us the total package.”
