"I go to O'Charley's occassionally. I noticed Friday that their menu says "If you have any special diet needs please discuss with your server". So, I asked her if she knew what gluten free was, and she DID! She did say that she'd have to check which menu items were GF, but I just told her what I wanted and she checked for me. It's soooo nice when you have someone who doesn't say "gluten what???". 1/06
