While I think the IDEA of restaurant cards is a good one, in practical
terms, it may not work. Here in the NYC, for some unkown reason, Mexican
immigrants have a hold on kitchen id diners and "home style"
reataurants. I got his information from a head-waitress. Many do not
speak English and the orders are given to them in Spanish, in one diner
I know, by Greek-Anerican waiters. Only in America.
We really have no way of being sure that out instructions are heard,
much less understood or followed. Since I am the one who suffere when
the "wrong" food is consumed, I must assume responsiblity for what I
consume. To get around the grill problem, I order an amlette which is
made in its own pan and doesn't touch the grill. I don't order deep
fried food out etc. I mentally have a list of "safe" foods and methods
of preparation and do not vary from it when I eat out--broiled fish or
chicken etc "dry", boiled or baked potatoes, plain rice, veggies,
salads wtih oil & lemon juice. If I want a dessert, I have found I can
have NY style cheesecake (no crust) with no problems.
It works for me.
