Scoop – an internal memo from a chef to the kitchen staff about the gluten content of their meals.
Fried foods: i have been informed that some celiacs may be sensitive to foods that have been fried in the same deep fat that floured and breaded foods have been fried in. Many of our items are breaded using flour. For example, if french fries are cooked in the same shortening as breaded chicken, it is possible that minute particles of wheat flour may still be suspended in the oil and be deposited on the french fries. Unfortunately, this restaurant does not have a separate fryer for french fries. We use the same fryer for breaded foods. Therefore, we do not recommend eating fried items at this café.
Griddled foods food that is sauteed on the griddle (like breakfast potatoes) may pick up tiny grains of flour from pancakes that have been cooked on the same griddle. Please check with your doctor on this, as sensitivity varies from person to person. We can have griddled foods prepared singularly in a saute pan and get the same relative cooking effect. Please ask if concerned about crossover contamination.
Appetizers:
Fresh vegetable quesadillas – order them made with corn tortillas, without chipotle sauce. The fresh salsa is ok.
Salads:
A note on dressings: our mayonnaise contains “vinegar” as an ingredient but does not specify what type of vinegar it’s distilled from. Also, we use ketchup in some salad dressings (heinz and hunt’s) and mustard (french’s and grey poupon) which both contain “vinegar” on their labels, without further Specifying.
Lemon wedges and bottles of oil & vinegar are available, or you may bring your own dressing. This restaurant nonfat sweet & sour french dressing will be ok, as long as you can eat ketchup. Our other dressings may contain grain vinegar, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and/or caramel coloring. Ranch dressing is very bad, it has hvp and yeast extract, so avoid this.
Cobb salad – ok (see note on bacon, in breakfast section) order without dressing
Zesty tostada chicken salad – ok, order without ranch dressing and without chipoltle sauce.
Chicken and fruit – ok, request broiled chicken
Salads are accompanied by a muffin or bread. You can order corn tortillas instead.
