[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really sad. With a diary allergy that severe it’s really not safe to eat out at all.[/quote]

It really is so sad. And I imagine it must be really tough for people with these allergies to walk that line between staying safe, and living a normal life!  Poor woman just wanted to enjoy her evening with her family.

You are right that (I assume) she’d still be here had she prepared her dinner herself. But it does bring up an interesting point - IF (big if) the food was contaminated / the breading had nuts or dairy, it does seem like there should be liability here. I know the server is probably young and clueless and not making much money, but if that’s how it went down, that server basically killed her when he/she confirmed to her that the food was nut / dairy free.

I’m sure the assurance was coming from the kitchen. I doubt the server just unilaterally reassured them that everything was fine.[/quote]

My ds is a waiter. He just had someone with a serious shellfish allergy the other day. He is only 17 and was very nervous about it, told the kitchen, asked again, it was fine...But there are two cooks, there is a food expediter, a wide variety of meals being made in a small space at a fast pace, and for an allergy like dairy it may not be as clear what contains dairy and what doesn't...I personally think it is way too risky to trust a restaurant and personnel with such a huge responsibility and so many variables.[/quote]
