Hi all,
     The recent thread, and some of my recent eating out experiences  
lead to another eating out question.  When eating at restaurants nice  
enough to have a real chef, I find that they want to offer me a very  
plain piece of fish or meat, and steamed plain veggies.  At first I  
was just thrilled that I was eating out again, and that this food  
seemed safe.  To the credit of various chefs who have served me, I do  
not think I have had accidental gluten this way.  However, the thrill  
is wearing off.  I find myself looking longingly at the wonderful  
foods on my friends' plates and wishing for more.

     Does anyone have suggestions on how to get a safe meal that is  
not so boring?  I use the Triumph dining cards (no personal or  
financial interest), and that does keep communication clear and  
easy.  Am I asking too much for safe and interesting food?  I don't  
want to be reckless, but I want better food!

     This problem has been at restaurants offering American fare, I  
have had better luck with ethnic foods, but when going in a group it  
can be harder to get agreement with more exotic choices.

     Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
