I was made deathly ill from consuming hidden wheat products in the black bean burger at Provisions last year. As a customer and as an employee I was told by owner and general manager that the handmade black bean patties were gluten-free without the bun. After many months of regularly consuming that meal, I kept finding myself not feeling well and had major digestive issues and kept asking what the specific ingredients were. Turns out they were not made from scratch, but they would throw packaging away when received and ingredients were not listed anywhere for cooks to relay info. One day a cook found the package in the trash and let me know that the third ingredient was wheat breadcrumbs. I became very ill and almost died as a result. On my return to work (I didn't know at the time why I became so sick so fast) I was told by the owner to remain on pain pills to get through my shifts. One week later she fired me via email for pouring myself a small taste of hard cider to have on my lunch break, not that I had an excuse, but it was commonplace for the culture there as the General Manager would regularly consume full pints of beer and full glasses of cocktails during their shift. I've not pressed any charges; I'm still paying off my medical debts and I have not been public about these events until now because I want to make it clear just how reckless and dangerous a business such as this can be. I get that this community is hungry for a place with "cool vibes" and an inclusive menu. But at what cost? There are good people that work there and sadly, my story is not completely unique for many customers and prior employees who have also suffered forms of toxicity and abuse.

Really good food and drinks. The staff were personable and fun. They played a couple songs to help me celebrate my birthday (we didn't ask, the gentleman just saw my friend give me flowers). This was June so I don't remember what we ordered, but there were 3 of us and all got different things. The waiter helped us with our decisions including finding me an excellent gluten free option.
