- Utilize Online Databases: There are plenty of online resources created by families of children with allergies for other families with similar struggles. Sites like allergyeats.com provide a platform for families to rate and review restaurants around the country on their experiences with food allergy requests. You can find information on common allergies like peanuts, dairy, gluten, eggs and more. While these websites cannot guarantee accuracy, you can always use them as a jumping off point for your research.
- When In Doubt, Call Ahead: If you are concerned about a restaurant’s ability to accommodate your needs, it’s best to call and ask questions yourself. This can alleviate any confusion you may find online and prevent frustrating experiences when you arrive for your trip. The last thing you want is a hungry child (or even adult) and no guarantee of allergen-free food options. Ask to speak to a manager or even the chef for answers specific to your needs.
