I don't want to sit there for 2 hours and educate the manager and the cooking staff on how to make a gluten free meal. In the end of they don't know about it they'll probably still flip my daughter's burger with the same spatula they used to flip the buns. And then I'll have a very sick 2 yr old little girl. It's not worth the risk.

SHELSI:: Have you tried "Something Different"? A very dear friend of mine eats there and she also has celiac disease. I think, too, Saeng's can do gluten-free if you request it. they're a thai restaurant, soooo good! Where do you send your little girl to daycare? La Hacienda, I think, would be more accommodating, but Juanito's is so good. Although, (warning) you may have to specify what gluten is. And I entirely agree that it's irresponsible of a restaurant owner to not understand ingredients! (My son and I are horribly allergic to peanuts, so needless to say, we have a TON of trouble in this area.) I hope this helps a wee bit! Good luck!
