Recently I received a question on my blog about Chicago. This woman has a daughter starting graduate school in Philadelphia, and wanted to know about restaurants in which I've had good allergy-free experiences, as her daughter suffers from tree nut and peanut allergies.
I am publishing this list, however I feel that it is important to state that as all allergy and allergy-sufferers are different, this list can only be used as a guide. Every allergic person needs to contact the restaurant and let them know about their individual allergies. These were the places that were not only receptive to the conversation, but were places in which I enjoyed a good meal...
For casual dining:
Buca di Beppo
Chili's
For nicer dining:
Hibachi
Prime Rib
Capital Grille
McCormick & Schmick's
Legal Seafoods
Maggiano's
Places I avoid and/or have had bad experiences:
Continental (despite the Steven Starr assurance, I had a bad experience there)
Cheesesteak Places (risk of cross-contamination is too much for me to attempt). I do realize what a bad Philadelphian this makes me. They are delicious and fantastic and not for me!
POD and Moshulu are next on my list of places to try...
I hope that this helps. I enclosed links to the menus of the places that are a little harder to find. I wish your daughter and your family the best of luck! Encourage her to carry an allergy card or wear a med-alert bracelet just to be extra safe!
Sincerely,
The Allergic Diner
