Read this internal memo recently from a restaurant and their recommendations for visiting Celiacs.
This list shows specifically what can be ordered from each menu category. If it’s not on this list, you may assume that it is made with wheat flour, caramel color, grain vinegar, or with a flavoring base that includes hvp or msg or both, and it is produced in a facility that manufactures items using wheat gluten.
Avoid all muffins, quick breads, dessert items, soups, sauces, salad dressings and marinades from mimi’s restaurants, as they are made in a facility that utilizes flour and wheat by-products. Food service manufacturers change their formulas quite frequently, so what has no hvp today might have it tomorrow.
Occasionally you’ll come across a new server who will be unfamiliar with our liberal substitution policy. Our managers are always present and always happy to help just ask for a manager if you don’t see one. We are always happy to make substitutions for anything. Most of our guests get “creative” and we’re very good at fulfilling special requests in the kitchen. Please direct your allergen requirements directly to a unit manager. Due to the large quantity of menu items at mimi’s, we want to ensure your saftey, while providing you with mimi’s own great tasting food and service.
You can order just a side order of anything we have in the restaurant. If you want just a piece of chicken or meat, or just a cup of yogurt and a wedge of fruit, or a little plain green salad please ask. It is something we do quite frequently.
It would also be a good idea to take a good look at your plate when it’s delivered to your table. Occasionally, during the hustle and bustle, it’s quite possible for a server to pick up the wrong plate by mistake; or for a chef to mis-read a hastily entered check.
Bon appetit! Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can better serve you.
Please note that the companies we buy food products from do change formulas from time to time. If in doubt, please don’t eat it. If you’ve ordered the wrong thing by mistake, please don’t be embarrassed to send it back. We will never charge our guests for something they didn’t eat.
At least it shows they are aware and are trying to help.
