Last friday I was treated to a wonderful meal at Wildfire by my friend Jessica since they have a gluten free menu. This was particularly exciting to me as a different drug rep brought giant pans of Portillos Pasta for lunch along with ANOTHER chocolate cake.
So we met and I did have 2 glasses of wine - which technically are on the avoidance list but our Chiropractor says you should pick two things in this kind of restrictive diet you will allow yourself to have.
We had a fabulous baked goat cheese appetizer served with gluten free and no wheat foccacia bread. DELICIOUS.
The only problem was our waiter. I had asked a question and he never got back to me. In fact he deserted us. I ordered a Turkey Burger from the Gluten free menu that came with roasted veggies. It came with cheese on it and he was nowhere to be found to ask about what kind of cheese since that is one of my restrictions.
I'm not proud of how I acted and luckily I have an incredibly supportive and honest friend who pointed out to me that perhaps I had reacted too harshly or strongly but basically I was really angry at the waiter.
The menu said nothing about it being a cheese-turkey burger. And I assumed that a restaurant that had a dietary restriction menu would list specific things on it as what I've read people don't only have one restriction. But that was a wrong assumption on my part and I should have asked. I was frustrated and while that's not an excuse perhaps all of this change and how I've been feeling caught up with me.
The gluten free bun was really good and the turkey burger was awesome as was the flour less chocolate cake that I ate despite the butter in it....
