Beyond the Beef

Beyond the Beef is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas in which a well-known rancher named Heck Gunderson asks the Courier to track down his son Ted Gunderson, who disappeared in the Ultra-Luxe Casino Hotel. Ted was accidentally kidnapped by the White Glove Society, who serve human meat from people who will not be missed as a delicacy.

If the Courier has a bad reputation, Mortimer will ask the Courier to help the White Glove Society by murdering Ted and framing Heck for the killing. If the Courier does as Mortimer asks, Mortimer reveals that the standard of luxury at the Ultra Luxe was threatened by Heck, who was driving down beef prices to the point where anyone might be able to afford it.
