We’re always on the hunt for new ways to use Spare Beef! So when we came across Zainab Shah’s Beef Chops recipe in the The New York Times, we knew we had to try it with Spare Ground.

Also known as potato chops, these crispy, golden mashed potato patties with a spiced beef filling have roots in Christian communities across India, Pakistan, and Iraq. They also happen to be seriously addictive — crispy fried mashed potatoes stuffed with spicy ground beef… YES!

What is a great recipe to begin with (🙏 Zainab) got a whole lot better. A little inspiration from around the world, a little Spare in the kitchen, and a whole lot of flavor. What’s not to love 🤤

It’s been a busy few weeks at Spare.

From campus dining halls to culinary collaborations, we’ve been spending a lot of time on the road working with chefs, meeting new partners, and bringing better beef to more tables.

Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been cooking up lately →

Last week, we teamed up with Princeton Dining to inspire the team and bring a lineup of new Spare recipes to campus 🍔

Working alongside their chefs, we spent the day testing global menu concepts, sharing ideas, and exploring new ways to bring better beef to the dining hall. Huge thanks to the Princeton Dining team for welcoming us into the kitchen. Can’t wait to see which dishes earn a spot on next year’s menu 👀

There are a lot of ways to make a burger. We like ours juicy, flavor-packed, loaded with real ingredients (grass-fed beef + veggies), and made with a little more intention.

Happy National Hamburger Day from Spare 🍔

A few weeks ago, we headed to University of Massachusetts Amherst to share Spare Burger and Spare Beef with students on campus 🍔🥕

Considering is home to the #1 ranked college dining program in the country, we knew expectations would be high. So hearing students talk about how much they enjoyed Spare? We’ll definitely take that as high praise!

Big thanks to the team for having us out. More campus stops to come ⚡

Perhaps the only thing better than eating at is feeding the people behind it. When we were invited to join a small group of alum to cater their annual staff party at , we jumped at the opportunity.

We set up a build-your-own burger bar, and for three hours, served Spare Burgers hot off the grill to a crowd of cooks, servers, farmers, educators, and their families — and the line never quit from the moment the event began. (Given the audience, that was certainly high praise!)

It’s truly always so special being back at the place that is such an essential part of our origin story.

Long before “sustainability” was part of everyday conversation, Rachel Carson helped spark a global awareness of how human systems impact the natural world.

That awareness grew into movements, and eventually, a closer look at something we all participate in every day: the food system. At Spare, that’s where we choose to focus. Not by reinventing what people eat, but by making it a little better.

This Earth Day, we’re serving up Spare Burgers at the University of California, Santa Cruz — home of Rachel Carson College — making our work feel a bit like full-circle moment.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍
