Yeah, this thread is kind of pointless. I just found a good listing of all the restaurants that do.

can you honestly taste the difference? ane even if you can how can one confirm that the meat you are getting is of the said quality.

I had a burger at Rare in NYC that was grass fed. Not sure if there was a difference, but it was damn good. For free range check out Henry's End in Brooklyn.

Yes, you can.
I don't know how one would confirm though.

Grass fed beef is inferior to corn fed, as it doesn't produce the nice marbling that gives meat its flavour. But I assume you have other reasons for wanting to eat it.

It isn't inferior, it's just different. A lot of people prefer the taste and prefer cooking with it over grain-finished beef.

Montana is a good place for grass fed Angus. There is a lot of grass fed bison and wild deer, elk and moose to be had as well.

The FDA standard for chicken to be classified as 'free range' basically means the chicken needs to spend some time outside of a cage.

This technically counts as "free range" ? each chicken has approx 1.5' x 1.5' of space and it's common practice to cut off parts of their beaks to prevent them from attacking each other.

Craftsteak in NYC has both grass and corn fed beef, identified clearly on the menu. I guess it's good opportunity to taste the difference for for those who would like to.

Would you prefer that they put little mini muzzles on them like pit bulls?

Is grain / corn fed beef reared on grass then only fed grain for the final part of their life, or is it grain / corn the whole time?

No, I'd prefer that we treat the animals that we eat like... well... animals, not products on an assembly line.

Most often, they're fed grass and then finished for the last two weeks on grain to fatten them up for butchering.
