Shiiiiit. I’m going through it right not. We do NOT do gluten free food. ONE PERSON came in and asked for gluten free, can’t touch bread, will get a severe reaction, blah blah. It was dead at that time so I said I’ll sanitize the kitchen and work on something. They left a review and now we have someone at least once a day asking for “the gluten free option”
… How do I make it stop?

I can guarantee that one or more of our cooks are conscious for every gluten-free order. “Extremely” is pushing it.

Hi, celiac haver here. Just appreciate when you do stuff like this. It makes it feel special.
If i could I’d get all my intestines replaced so I could just eat wheat

My restaurant serves pizza. I *cannot* get all that flour out of the air. When people come in a tell me they are deathly allergic to gluten, I refuse service. It usually goes something like this:
“Hi! I understand we have a severe allergy at the table?”
“Yeah that is me!”
“Well, this is regretful, but for your safety, I unfortunately need to refuse service. With the nature of our business being pizza focused, I simply am unable to guarantee any of our food will be gluten free. I am able to offer ‘low-gluten’ options, but again for your safety, I cannot offer anything that is gluten-free.”
“Oh that’s fine, low gluten will be OK!”
“Great! All of our low-gluten options are highlighted on the menu.”
I’ve had this conversation with 100’s of people with deathly allergies. Anyone time someone tells me they will die or some shit, I refuse service, tell them I’m not willing to risk their life, and they *always* back off.
I’ve been doing this shit for like 15 years, and I have only ever had *one* person actually refuse to dine with me, and it was a super fringe case where they were actually going to die. And, it wasn’t even an allergy, it was some weird medical condition.

Some GF people really don’t understand.
I work in a bakery, flour absolutely everywhere.
The amount of people we get who say “oh, you’re a bakery? You can just bake gluten free bread”
“No, you don’t understand just how contaminated with flour this place is”
Never seen more angry people in my life.

Kinda rude to do that to the poor pig when he already has a doomed little existence. š„ŗš

Recently diagnosed celiacs here. Pizza and bread and pasta are huge loves I had to give up, and I canāt tell you how much it sucks. But I also understand Iām going to be ingesting airborne flour at a pizza place no matter what I order. By the way, anyone think an all gluten free donut shop would fly? Was dreaming of an all panczki stand before my diagnosis.

A gluten allergy aka celiacs isnt deadly. Ā I mean it can kill you eventually. Ā But itās a little more than basic sanitation. Ā Iāve worked in kitchens and unless youāre in a bakery o playing with flour youāll be ok. Ā
Everyone else makes a bigger deal of it than I do when we go out to eat. I know what fits my diet and 90% of places will have something on the menu thatās not going to get me sick. Ā
But Ā a lot of it said customer service and paying attention if I ask for a salad with no croutons and it comes out with croutons Iām not risking eating any of the other food and getting sick.Ā Ā

Is nulled pork like a veggie alternative?
Mrkillerar
Ah yes, the legendary gluten free frying machine.
subtxtcan
Conscious of gluten? Gluten friendly?
The fuck do they think this is some sort of awareness day? You don’t need to “support” someone and “be an ally” for a goddamn allergy. What the shit.

Is the Nulled Pork okay then for Kosher and Halal?

We just got the same issue at our newly opened restauraunt
Initially wasnāt gonna offer gf options but we offered it to a vip and now weāre known for making gf optionsā¦.
amoabsurdum
Just be upfront on having no safe environment for a celiac if you get one. I cannot stand āIs this an allergy, or an *allergy*ā when waitstaff seemed annoyed at me. I get it- just tell me if I can or cannot eat.
StreetfightBerimbolo
Lmao spent 5 years telling people
No gluten free bread No gluten free buns No gluten free pasta
I have my own āsubstitutionsā. I will not put my name behind any of those products.
But the US food reps wife was running a gluten free bakery hustle in my area and the fukking reps wouldnāt leave me alone.
The same customers calling every week.
Fuk I had people who came like 7-8 times in the first year open who would still regularly call and semi threaten me to get gluten free product. Meanwhile Iām sitting on the phone like
āwhy do you fucks think Iām changing what Iām doing when you fucking like it and keep coming back every monthā
Switched to a burger spot, same deal with the anti gluten brigade nonstop calling my restaurant. I think these fucks have a Facebook group in town and try to swing their anti gluten dicks around. No cap.
SomePoorMurican
Deathly allergic to gluten? Make your own damn food at home donāt waste the kitchens time with your made up allergy. The amount of GF orders that come in only to be made the exact same way everything else is and then surprise, nobody dies is crazy. Why would you trust your life in the hands of a 19y/o line cook tyler who is barely surviving a double off edm, redbulls and newports is beyond me.

I work at red lobster and itās at least 3 coustomers a day that have seafood or shellfish allergies. Like okay I canāt help you but my boss makes me cook these dishes or fry items in a fryer we put seafood in. Every time I want to walk out there and tell these people personally itās not possible but the servers are afraid of not getting tipped

The only place ive ever worked at it was reasonable to deal with glueten free was the bbq place I worked at. It just meant no bread ever touched the cutting board. Meat was already prepped and cooked in a different area and it was easy enough to point out the sides that were naturally glueten free.
The reason why I wouldnt do it still is because once you get the glueten free folk, they also have all sorts of other weird ass allergies so you are constantly going to the kitchen to figure out does x, y, or z have garlic or butter in it?

As the great Kenny Shopsin said, āif you have a life threatening food allergy, you should be eating in a hospital, not my restaurantā
safari-dog
as someone with celiac these comments are quite sad to read. you literally made someoneās day allowing them to safely eat.
deadskiesbro
the amount of people that would specifically come to the SANDWICH shop I worked at being “celiac” was fucking insane

I can’t have gluten it gives me the worst stomach aches. When I go to restaurants I’ll eat beforehand just to be safe.
retired-at-34
Hahaha, I have a policy in my restaurant, no special orders, no dietary restrictions, no substitute allowed, no delivery orders, no take out. Please go next door. We only serve guests who want to eat our food the way we cook them. We don’t do it any other way.
shiftypidgeons
