AllerDine Has a Special Directory for People with Allergies: The Allergy Friendly Restaurant Guide
The folks at allerDine.com were thinking of you when they created a state-by-state data base that identifies which restaurants in your neighborhood offer allergy-safe cooking policies and menus.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 01, 2010 ) Ann Arbor, MI - AllerDine.Com has contacted and then surveyed restaurants throughout the United States and Canada about their food-allergy policy and their allergy friendly kitchen layout. Their database was then transformed into The Food Allergy Friendly Restaurant Guide.
Dining out is now possible for families with serious food allergies! Search for restaurants, add a restaurant or rate a restaurant. Register and find out the details you need to make your dining out decision today. Join AllerDine today and start dining out more! Please use the free access to The Food Allergy Friendly Restaurant Guide at www.AllerDine.Com/ And when you arrive at the Allergy Friendly Restaurant, be sure to keep the tips in mind below.
Eating out can be daunting with food allergies. Ceding control of what goes on your plate can be intimidating, especially when the kitchen is behind closed doors and you can't be sure whether your waiter understands exactly what you mean by "allergic to dairy." Still, though, learning how to eat out with food allergies can greatly expand your social possibilities and give you a much-needed break from the kitchen. Read Victoria Groce’s eight tips that can help you safely negotiate the rough-and-tumble world of restaurants:
1. Do some research on the restaurant. Most national chains include nutrition information on their websites. These sites often include allergy information. If the restaurant you're thinking of visiting does not have any allergy information available, you may be able to speak to the manager.
2. Avoid Peak Times. You'll be likely to get more attentive service, especially on your first few visits to a given restaurant, if you avoid lunch and dinner rushes. An already harried waiter or waitress will find it more difficult to check on ingredients and answer questions.
3. Make The Waitstaff Your Ally. The waitstaff is your liaison with the kitchen, so be sure to strike up a good rapport. Explain your condition thoroughly and let your waiter know that you will have some questions.
4. Find Multiple Options. You'll make your life -- and your waiter's! -- Easier if you find a few options on the menu so the waiter can ask the kitchen about all of them at once.
5. Be Aware of Cross-Contamination. Cross-contamination occurs when food is prepared on a surface or using a utensil that has touched an allergen.
6. Treasure a Good Relationship. Some restauranteurs will amaze you, even touch you with their willingness to help you.
7. Trust Your Instincts. If you have doubts about your order after you've received it, politely ask your waiter to double-check.
8. Be Prepared. Even under the best of circumstances, it's smart to be prepared for the unexpected. If an allergic reaction would be life-threatening, or even just uncomfortable, bring along whatever treatment your doctor recommends.
Also in the category of being prepared, many restaurants are tolerant of bringing snacks for toddlers and very young children (though not for older children or adults), especially those with medical needs. This can expand your enjoyment at a restaurant greatly, as a side dish and a few packed snacks might be sufficient for many children.
