Similarly, the 'chef" At Sfoglia on the UES made a disparaging comment about food allergics not being welcome in his restaurant. It was in one of those "Our Town" type of freebie newspapers. I forget which one. Hey Mike, thanks for sharing that. Similarly, the ‘chef” At Sfoglia on the UES made a disparaging comment about food allergics not being welcome in his restaurant.

Yes, we are at the mercy of the kitchen staff to serve our food as we 'need' to have it. In my case, too, with a shellfish allergy - it is a matter of life or death. As well, I am one of the many people with Celiac Disease that might be glutened and might never know until the endoscopy shows my intenstines are still damaged or a blood test still showing I am not absorbing nutrients. This man, and others out there like him, that do not understand what CD is, what our cure is and how grateful we are when people do 'get it' needs to be educated. As advocates to the GF community it is our 'unwritten job'. After Mr Cardone's earful from our community I hope he is, right now, beginning to get it. May he never serve another meal if he doesn't.
