Wow we have an olive garden and a chevy's right near us.  They can actually have the hard taco's?? How about the pizza at Olive Garden does a manager supervise the cooking process? We usually order pasta dry in most restaurants and ask for olive oil on the side when it arrives.  There are a few local places that do not use cheese on their grills.  They put the cheese on the bun and run it through a bun toaster, we simply ask that they don't toast the bun.  We have found a lot of places do this as it's easier to clean the grills without having cheese residue on them.

  We take my son, who is milk, soy, egg, peanut, allergic (Barley
  intolerant) to the Olive Garden for pizza (w/ o cheese) or Spaghetti
  (kids doesn't contain any cheese). He has barley trouble with the
  crusts and bread. You can order the breadsticks without the garlic
  butter on top. They can possibly serve you a side bowl of olive oil
  for the breadsticks.

  We also go to Chevy's Mexican restaurant, and he can have the hard
  shell tacos with ground beef (or hamburger meat-only). The restaurant
  prides itself in fresh (not canned food). But they do get the buns
  and flour- mix (soft shells) from a different store. We don't have
  the fries there, as they cook the chicken or fish (I think which has
  milk) in the same fryer.
