I have a severe nut allergy. The strictest, craziest protocol I’ve seen in the state is PF Changs. They have a separate menu. And one of the cooks actually came out to talk to me. Surprisingly, a family friend passed away from a severe nut allergy at The Capital Grille ($$$) across the street.

That is horrible. Out of curiosity, are food allergies so bad that treatments like epipens and such don't work?

Idk, mine has always gotten me to the ER. An epipen buys you about 30 minutes to get medical treatment you have anaphylaxis. You can give more than one shot for super severe cases.

How severe ? Like so severe that if you eat something at an air show prepared near / with other foods containing nuts that you’ll have a reaction?
