I ate at this restaurant twice last summer with total confidence in the waiter and kitchen. Happily, I was fine after both meals. Personally, I wish folks wouldn’t sue restaurants because the negative publicity could possibly result in them no longer offering GF options. I prefer to speak directly to the manager/ owner or head chef if I have a concern. My philosophy is that accidental gluten ingestion just like accidental food poisoning for the general dining public is a reality for all of us. - - - - Wow!!! To think all the times I got glutened at a restaurant. I never would have thought about suing. It’s my choice to take that risk. That’s why most restaurants dont say gluten free they say gluten sensitive. I have celiac disease and have those same symptoms when accidentally ingesting it. Thank god ive only had it happened a handful of times. I stick to places I know are safe. - - - - So, in my opinion, this is going to make it MORE difficult for us to eat out because restaurants are going to fear getting sued. What a shame. - - - - This upsets me a great deal. It is because of lawsuits like this that restaurants are afraid to offer anything at all that is GF. Yes, we must be careful. Scrupulous indeed. And I am not questioning the “permanent” nature of the injury (well, maybe I am a little) but if the victim is as careful about his diet as is suggested and is as sensitive as suggested, I must ask why he bothers to eat out at all. I certainly wouldn’t if I were in his shoes. I’m not trying to stir up a controversy, and I am very sorry this happened, but I don’t think suing restaurants for hundreds of thousands of dollars is the key to getting served GF food. In fact, it just has the opposite effect. - - - * All posts for product information must include the applicable country * Archives are at: Http://Listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?LIST=CELIAC
