<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Group! I had a great experience at a diner on Long Island. When I went into the whole GF thing, the waiter got a little nervous and called over the owner. I thought..."here we go again" When the owner came over, he went over what I wanted and told me the ingredients and listened patiently to what was required. He even went into the kitchen and scrubbed the grill himself. I later told him there is a restaurant awareness program, and he said he would be very interested in that!!! However, I don't know how to go about arranging that! Maybe some of you great people out there can help. I told him I was sure there were people on the Island who would be happy to know he was willing to accommodate our needs. Make sure you ask for "Mike". The diner is: The Empress Diner (Mike is the owner and the man to see) 2490 Hempstead Turnpike East Meadow, NY 11554 Any of you involved with that restaurant program, he is willing!!! *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
