Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Restaurants that are good with allergies? by honeycomb67

It depends on how careful the kitchen is, because cross-contamination can make someone very ill.

That can obviously happen, but isn't that near the tippy-top of the list of "shit to not do"?

In talking to staff, you get a sense of how familiar they are in dealing with food allergies. If you’re not comfortable with the response, you eat elsewhere. Sometimes they tell you they’ve all had training, sometimes they brush you off. If it’s the latter, you go somewhere else, as they likely aren’t cleaning surfaces, using new utensils, etc., before making your meal.

Crazy. I’d think this would be up there with like hand washing and like proper cooking / refrigeration or whatever.

I don’t have food allergies but I’m not sure I’d want to fuck with a place that’d cut those corners.
