<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am befuddled by the people who are concerned about their pork chops or steaks being seasoned or marinated at Outback (unless these people are allergic to something in the spices, in which case it makes sense). In one case I'm not sure why the meal wasn't GF but my bet was it was the veggie seasoning. If you don't tell the waiter not to season the meat and you get it with seasoning, IT'S BECAUSE THE SEASONING IS GF!!!! Go back and read the menu. We are plainly told to avoid the vegetable seasoning, but NOT the meat seasoning. Please show me where it tells us to avoid the meat seasoning. If you have prime rib you also avoid the au jus and if you have the lamb you avoid the cabernet sauce. According to Outback and GIG, the meat spices are GF. It doesn't say that in those words but if they weren't GF, why the heck would they tell us specifically to avoid the veggie seasoning but not the meat seasoning? Do people think Outback and GIG are trying to poison us for the fun of it? And if you don't believe them on the meat seasoning, why would you believe them about anything at all on the menu and why would you ever eat at Outback? Of course, eating out is always a risk because of cross contamination no matter where you eat. richard *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
