My family doesn't eat out very much. We prefer to cook at home to save money and eat healthier.
We did go out to T.G.I Friday's the other night and noticed they had an allergen menu with a key for which foods contained which ingredients. Most had gluten and dairy, but if you aren't extremely sensitive (because all the food surfaces are shared) you might be able to get a plain hamburger or something. A few cuts of steak were okay, but you can't exactly feed a baby with four teeth a steak...lol.
I've heard wonderful things about Chipotle and their menu. They are on the pricey side, but isn't everything these days? I found information about their top allergens on their website here.
While doing some research I found this site, which is designed specifically for people with problems with milk, yet they have a lot of information for most top allergens. Be sure to check them out!
When we're on the road to see family, we usually would frequent Wendy's or McDonald's. It seems like their allergy menus are limited. The one thing I did find at McD's that Lucy could eat would be the new grilled chicken breast - no bun. Their fries contain milk and wheat. Wendy's has an ultimate chicken grill fillet that appears to be free of wheat & milk. At least they have the option of a plain baked potato, although I'm not sure Lucy would be such a big fan of that. The oil is shared with the other menu items, so it is not "safe" but I'm not sure if she would react to that or not. Guess that's why it's good to have Benadryl and the epi pen handy!!
