Props to your waiter for dispelling the pasta from scratch on site theory (sheesh!) and for taking the time to check the packaging. What's funny is that weeks after I sent this letter to Bahama Breeze, they sent us a gift card. No apology, no letter, not even a signature...just a gift card in an envelope. I had lost all faith in the organization thinking they'd totally missed the point when it comes to allergies. I am relieved to hear that maybe things aren't so bad throughout the entire chain. And thanks to you and your family for not taking a competent, caring waiter for granted. Let me know if you need a guest author for a chapter of your training manual ;) Love it!Kid Cultivationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602780297358293540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330054341571844942.post-12849289091875755532013-07-03T07:51:00.126-05:002013-07-03T07:51:00.126-05:00We went to the Bahama Breeze in Tampa Bay. As usu...We went to the Bahama Breeze in Tampa Bay. As usual, we were waiting to order and I searched for a allergen guide for the restaurant but found none, but came across your blog. Expecting the worst, we ordered asking the waiter if the bow tie pasta had egg. My son is allergic to egg and usually has a reaction even if it says the pasta was produced on machinery... He is also allergic to peas, turkey, peanuts, tree nuts, and coconut. (We have noticed lately an increase in the use of coconut oil. It is even in Cap'n Crunch?) We asked the waiter to check, and to our surprise, not only did he check, he brought out a huge bag of Barilla bow tie pasta, finally dispelling the rumor that they make all of their pasta from scratch. Needless to say, we thought he deserved a hefty tip. We should write a training manual titled "How to get a tip from parents of kids with allergies!"
