<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just wanted to let people know my expierience to night as I went out to eat with my family.My husband always said I drilled the waiters and he didnt like to go out.So I started to read "Against the Grain" and talked with people about ordering.I have come along way in 5 yrears. I looked on the menu and saw a thai salad which had marinated chicken and crispy rice noodles.I had said to the waitress that i was on a restricted diet and couldnt have wheat.I asked her if i could have the chicken plain and the dressing on the side.She said yes and I asked about the crispy rice nookles,which turns out to have had wheat in them,so instead the chef put bean sprouts on them.It was wonderful!Most pleasant meal I have had with my husband and I didnt drill the waitress...HOORAH! Another way to get your order is to let your spouse order for you,but I felt better if I did it myself.So I feel real good that I did this and my meal was very good!!! jody in oregon
