Elevation Burger Logo

Eating out Paleo can sometimes be difficult - but it doesn't have to be.  For me what I have the hardest time satisfying in the Paleo hierarchy is food quality.  At home I pretty much only eat grass fed beef, but when I go out I know that getting grass fed beef is much harder to find.  So I was pleasantly surprised when we found Elevation Burger.  I've learned there are a few in the Philadelphia area, the one I visited was in Collegeville in the giant shopping center along with Wegmans, … [Read more...]

Why go Grass Fed?

My last post talked about the 1/8th of a cow I got through Philly Cow Share. You may be wondering why go grass fed?
