Asked if they had anything gluten free. There were 3 workers standing around doing nothing, and of course not one of them knew the answer. One tried to make a guess, which is even worse than not knowing because if you get sick from ingesting gluten, you don't want to risk it on someone's guess.
Being a "healthy food" place, its such a shame the owner doesn't get the restaurant/chain trained and certified by a celiac associated group.
Celiacs use the Find Me Gluten Free app to find restaurants that can accommodate.
This place misses out on a ton of business because I regularly go to a club nearby and would love to grab lunch after, 2-3x a week, and my options are limited,so celiacs like ne often become regulars at the same handful of places that accommodate us and having a good review on the FMGF app directs other celiacs visiting the area to the places other celiacs find to be a good experience without getting sick.
Celiac has no cure,so you can't just not eat out for the next 80 years of life.
Luckily, my group was able to dine atEl Pollo Loco and the salad is only 350 calories and lots of other options are on the celiac list that pops up when you Google gluten free options at El Pollo Loco.
