Eating Out
Last night my wonderful son (married to my very pregnant daughter) went to Bonefish Grill in Destin Florida to get us all a gluten free meal. We called in advance and then he went in and ordered, making sure as he always does to stress gluten free ... no bread ... no croutons ... no wheat .... He got the meal and brought it home and into the bedroom where my daughter is on bed rest due to complications to her pregnancy related to being glutened. I opened up all the bags and hauled out all the food and opened the last bag and looked inside and didn't recognize what was there. I looked closer, thought to myself sweet potatoes??? We didn't order sweet potatoes, so I stuffed my hand into the bag and grabbed one and pulled it out to look at it more closely ... ackkkkk ... it was a bread roll, a beautiful and HUGE bread roll. I stuffed it back into the bag but it was too late. I must have inhaled when I had my face stuffed into the bag trying to figure out what it was. I am glutened. I called the restaurant about this and when I explained that I was going to be sick for days at least over it she told me I must be "allergic" so I said ........ yep, and she told me that next time I ordered to ask for a manager and they would make extra special sure to keep all gluten away from my order. I asked her why bread was included on a GF order anyway. She told me that most people get upset if it isn't included on all orders. I admit the rolls were beautiful but poison for celiacs. Now we won't be ordering from them again. How do I know if they are being extra special safe or not? If I have to phone in a request for this on a gluten free menu item then whose to say if that day they are taking it seriously or not? And its a crying shame because their food is good. I had the Chilean Sea Bass in lemon butter sauce and it was so good. The Creme Brulee is amazing. So now another restaurant I can't trust with my families health.
